Life in the workhouse is challenging, and Dora faces numerous obstacles. She is subjected to physical and emotional abuse, and her dreams of a better life seem distant. However, she refuses to give up and finds solace in her herbal remedies, which she learned from her late mother.

At Florence Nightingale Hospital, Dora works tirelessly to provide quality care to her patients. She is determined to make a positive impact and to honor her late mother's legacy by becoming one of the hospital's renowned nurses.
Through her experiences, Dora learns that anything is possible with hard work, determination, and a bit of luck. She proves that even a girl from a workhouse can achieve great things and make a difference in the world.
The Workhouse series by Holly Green is a powerful and inspiring tale of resilience and hope. It follows the lives of several young women who find themselves in the workhouse and their struggles to overcome adversity and achieve their dreams.
If you enjoyed reading the Workhouse series, I highly recommend checking out Holly Green's new series about wartime nurses. The Frontline Nurses series follows the lives of nurses who worked on the front lines of World War I and II, and it is filled with heart-wrenching stories of bravery and sacrifice.
In conclusion, Dora's journey from a workhouse orphan to a nurse at Florence Nightingale Hospital is a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and a bit of luck. Her story inspires us all to pursue our dreams and to never give up, even in the face of adversity.
