An emotional and true story that narrates the life and work of a young nurse in 1950s England, from the success of the Sunday Times.
"Three little children peep, their eyes watching me. The worn remains of a loaf are covered in jam, and impatient little fingers are waiting for them..." The end of the 1950s marks changes in Britain. The long shadow of the war is waning and, as the country prepares for the sixties, Dot embarks on her own adventure. After graduating as a midwife, young Dot takes a position as a healthcare visitor in the back streets of Birmingham. There, she is not only responsible for the babies coming into this world but also for an army of toddlers in need of help.
For Dot, it will be an emotionally charged journey as she tries to help families with minimal means, experiencing the struggles of young mothers and discovering how the spirit of the community can overcome the most difficult circumstances.
