*****
SHE'S DETERMINED TO MAKE HER MARK IN A MAN'S WORLD...

The 1920s: being a female doctor is tough, especially if you work in the welfare centre of an industrial Yorkshire town.

Rose - who has the added disadvantage of being young and pretty - finds she has to cope with elderly male prejudice from those above her, and apathetic ignorance and poverty from those she is trying to help.

She'll need all the inner strength and confidence she can muster to find her way...
