Lily has been working to support her fiancé's business while he is away fighting on the Western Front. She also serves as an auxiliary nurse, but her greatest concern is finding her long-lost sister.

After enduring the hardships of the workhouse, Lily has bravely managed to keep her fiancé's business afloat while he courageously fights on the Western Front. Despite the ongoing challenges, she remains steadfast in her commitment to her country as an auxiliary nurse, selflessly serving her nation. However, a persistent weight rests heavily on her heart: the longing for her long-lost sister.

Born shortly before her mother's passing, the circumstances surrounding her birth were shrouded in secrecy. The baby was taken away, and the scandal was hushed up. Yet, hope glimmers on the horizon for Lily, as she possesses a vital clue that could lead her to her beloved sister: the name of the notorious baby farmer who purchased the child all those years ago. Mrs. Jolley.

Determined to reunite with her sister, Lily embarks on a mission with the unwavering support of her two friends, Margie and Fanny. Armed with unwavering determination and a fierce spirit, Lily will stop at nothing to locate her little sister and shield her from the dark and perilous streets of London. As Winter approaches, the war seems to have no end in sight, casting a shadow of uncertainty over Lily's quest.

Will she be able to bring her family together, despite the looming threat of war? Only time will tell as Lily embarks on this heartfelt journey, determined to find the missing piece of her life and create a brighter future for herself and her loved ones.
