Description

A gripping and heartwarming novel from the No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller, Dilly Court.
Lottie Lane is all alone in the world. As a chambermaid at one of Londons busiest inns, condemned to a life of drudgery and at the mercy of a vicious landlady, Lottie is too worn out to even dream of a better life.

Until one night an injured soldier is brought to The Swan. Lottie nurses him back from the dead and suddenly everything changes. She finds herself following the drum of the soldiers, all the way from the docks of Chatham to the darkness and despair of a far flung battlefield.

When tragedy strikes, Lottie is alone once more and thrown back into the jaws of Londons streets. With the threat of destitution nipping at her heels, Lottie is in dire need of a miracle . . .
