Christmas is fast approaching at Mary Vale and Lizzie, a local mother with two young children, is struggling to pay her rent. Thorpe, the unforgiving landlord, has no time for her tears or strife and demands she pays up or lose her home.

The midwives can't stand by and watch this happen and so together with plucky new recruit, Libby, they set out a plan to put a roof over Lizzie's head by Christmas and bring peace to the local community once more

A rousing tale of integrity and heroism, and an endearing story of a group of women working together

About Daisy Styles

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire, surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.
