In 1940s Britain, with the Second World War raging, Alice is working in a laboratory developing a new miracle medicine. Made to leave school at sixteen and abandon her aspiration to be a teacher, she learns instead how curing people may be her destiny.
In the present day, Jo, already in a failing marriage, is devastated when she hears her daughter's life is on a knife edge. At her bedside Jo starts to read Alice's diary, found the previous day in a vintage handbag.
A door opens onto the past, revealing a young woman's fierce determination to succeed against all odds. Past and present overlap and merge as life-changing events resonate across the gulf of time.
This is a story of a mother whose life is blown apart. Now she must find a way to put it back together. Can Alice show her the way?

"This is a tale that will wring your heart and feed your soul. Don't pass it up!" - I'm a Voracious Reader
"Timeless themes, beautifully packaged." - Something by Jane
