Una Kelly has grown up to be a rough-and-tumble grifter, able to filch a pocketbook in five seconds flat. But when another con-woman pins her for a murder she didnt commit, Una is forced to flee. Running from the police, Una lies her way into an unlikely refuge: the nursing school at Bellevue Hospital.Based on Florence Nightingales nursing principles, Bellevue is the first school of its kind in the country. Where once nurses were assumed to be ignorant and unskilled, Bellevue prizes discipline, intellect, and moral character, and only young women of good breeding need apply. At first, Una balks at her prim classmates and the doctors endless commands. Yet life on the streets has prepared her for the horrors of injury and disease found on the wards, and she slowly gains friendship and self-respect.Just as she finds her footing, Unas suspicions about a patients death put her at risk of exposure, and will force her to choose between her instinct for self-preservation, and exposing her identity in order to save others…Readers love this book:Definitely a book worth reading…I loved the plot and got caught up in it MaryDifferent to anything Ive read recently…Great characters and a gripping story, this book had it all WendySo much more than your usual historical saga…Great storyline and I really enjoyed the character of Una and her fight to better herself from humble beginnings AngelaThe cover says that lovers of Dilly Court would enjoy this book…I for one did…as well as enjoyable I also found myself learning a lot too!!!
