BETH HUBBLE has grown up in extreme poverty in Dock Cottages
- a filthy slum teeming with scruffy, malnourished children. And, although she loves training to become a nurse, problems at
home are never far from her mind.
Beth is shocked when doctors tell
her mother that, although a fifteenth
pregnancy would be fatal, they will do nothing to help prevent it. She resolves to learn more about birth control, but, in 1920, it's a taboo subject, and Beth's quest for knowledge is thwarted at every turn.
Meanwhile, romance blossoms with Andrew Langford, a hospital lab technician, who Beth hopes will take her away from the tenements for good. But will he want to marry a girl from Dock Cottages? And will Beth ever find the love and happiness that she deserves?
