From a tender age, Flora felt unloved and unwanted by her parents, but she finds safety in the arms of caring nanny Pru. But when Pru is cast out of the family home, under a shadow of secrets, and with a young baby boy of her own to care for, it shatters little Flora. But over the years, Flora and Pru meet in secret - unbeknown to Flora's parents. Pru becomes the mother to flora she never had, and Flora grows into a fine young woman. When Flora signs up to become a nurse with the St John's ambulance, she begins to shape her life. But the drum of war beats loudly and Flora's world is turned upside down when she receives a letter asking her to join the Red Cross in Belgium. With the fate of the country in the balance, it's a time for bravery. Flora's determined to be the strong woman she was destined to be. But with horror, loss and heartache on her horizon - there's a lot for young Flora to learn.
