Far From Home

Ellie Dean

It's 1940 and Staff Nurse Polly Brown is far from home... She has been granted a posting at Cliffehaven Memorial Hospital on the south coast to be near her badly injured husband, Adam. But her decision has meant that she has had to part with her beloved five-year-old daughter, Alice, who is travelling to safety in Canada. Polly's heart is torn in two as she says goodbye to Alice. But as she confronts the fact that Adam may not survive his injuries, a telegram arrives. The boat Alice was on has been torpedoed by a German U-boat...
