A heartbreaking novel of love, courage and strength. Based on a real pioneering hospital.

As the World War One rages on outside, it is the battle within that must be won, through the quiet strength of words.

Josie Everley survived the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, but she lost the man she loves.

Broken-hearted and destitute, Josie must start afresh as a library assistant at an all-female-run military hospital in Endell Street. As she focuses on her work, she never expected to meet Theo, a wounded soldier suffering his own trauma who finds solace amongst the books.

As Josie steps up to the role of librarian and loses her heart to Theo, the war around them continues to be a cruel companion and Josie must muster all her strength and courage to make it through.

Will Josie find her happy-ever-after amongst the heartbreak?
