The Workhouse Nurse

In Victorian England, pride does not protect an orphaned maid. Matilda “Tildy” Seymour serves a clergyman and his wife with dignity, already sure the world is no friend to a poor girl without family. Cruel Tom Crawford takes advantage of her, and she is forced to marry the man who ruined her.

Trapped with an abusive husband, she escapes and begins again as a nurse in a workhouse infirmary.

The Industrial Revolution is remaking the country, yet her life is as precarious as before.

Pregnant and alone, she will do anything to keep herself and her child alive.

Eight gritty historical sagas follow that decade of love and loss.
