Publisher's summary

For the sake of her daughter Belle, Harriet did something unspeakable never imagining the price her crime would exact. Now Belle is left fighting for what remains.

In a busy lying in hospital, Harriet and her twenty year-old daughter Belle work side by side as midwives. With Belle’s father presumed dead, the women are dependent for employment on the goodwill of the smug and licentious Dr. Morrow.

Harriet is guarding an unspeakable secret and is horrified to encounter the one person who could reveal everything, and force her, and Belle, onto the streets. But her own troubles are forgotten as a mysterious illness sweeps the hospital.

Sam Harper, a young physician in training, is devastated by the demise of so many new mothers. Working around the clock, he and Belle develop a camaraderie which forges love in the midst of catastrophe.

As the fight to stem the increasing death toll heightens, a terrible tragedy strikes, and Harriet’s secret is exposed. Now it is all up to Belle. Can the love that Belle and Sam have found survive this terrible revelation, or will love fail, leaving Belle alone and her family doomed?
