Books
Somerset, April 1930. Frances Brakespeare became a doctor after losing the love of her life during the Great War. Her love of medicine and London's high society helped her cope - until she upsets a rich and powerful man. Thanks to him she loses her position at a prestigious London hospital and finds doors shut in her face - until she is offered a residency at the Orchard Cottage Hospital in the small Somerset country town of Norton Dene where quarrying and coal mining are the main industries. It's a far cry from London and suspicious minds are not so accepting of a female Doctor. Frances has mountains to climb but is determined to win through, do her job and care for those in need. At first sight the town seems quaintly old fashioned and a world away from London but there are secrets and sins bubbling beneath the surface plus a mystery she determines to solve.
