When midwife Hope Masterson arrives in Cornwall to start her dream job by the sea, she's ready for a fresh start and a chance to make a real difference to the lives of the women and babies she cares for.
Working between St Piran's hospital and the community midwifery unit of Port Agnes, Hope quickly finds herself drawn into the lives of her patients and colleagues. From dramatic deliveries and joyous newborns to heartbreaking struggles with infertility, she is on hand to share in all the hopes, worries and incredible love that motherhood can bring.
But Hope is carrying a secret that could change everything - and she faces an impossible dilemma.
Should she reveal the truth and shatter the lives of those around her, or protect the fragile happiness of the family she's only just found?
As friendships deepen, romance blooms and emotions run high, Hope must decide whether some secrets are better left untold... and what it truly means to belong.
A gorgeously heartfelt, uplifting and unputdownable story of love, family and the many different paths to motherhood, by Top Ten bestselling author Jo Bartlett.
