What to expect

Don't miss the next gripping instalment in the emotional Nightingale Family series from Fenella J Miller.

A new family, an old fear...

After the death of his wife, Sarah Nightingale marries Dan Cooper and becomes mother to his three little boys. They move to a fine house of their own and Sarah has never been happier with a family to finally call her own with maybe a baby of her own on the way…

When Alfie Nightingale has a dalliance with a young girl called Betty, he’s obliged to do the right thing by her when she learns she's with child. Now there will be another baby in the family.

But when one disaster follows another, Sarah and Alfie have dreadful choices to make if they and their families are to survive.

A gripping and authentic tale of courage during bleak times, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Patricia McBride and Rosie Clarke.
