A heart-wrenching saga of a young nurse’s courage, determination and resilience during the Plymouth Blitz, inspired by true WW2 events
Student nurse, Philippa Luscombe, is utterly dedicated to her career, but a horrific event at the height of the Plymouth Blitz during World War Two very nearly puts paid to her ambitions. One personal tragedy after another threatens her future, but with the companionship of her good friend, fellow student nurse Stephanie Chappel, she is determined to win through. Until a poem, The Butterfly Girl, written to her by a grateful patient, throws her life into turmoil once more. Can she find the strength to fight back yet again?
