1854 - the Crimean War is in full swing. Gideon, a navvy, is helping to organise a contract for a stretch of supply railway line there to transport guns and food to the soldiers. Back home in Cornwall, Alice is waiting for him. But does Gideon love her as much as she loves him?

"1854: The Crimean War is in full swing. Gideon, a navvy, is there, helping to organise a stretch of railway line to transport guns and food to the soldiers. Back home in Cornwall, Alice is waiting for him, but her employer, a vicar, has recently died and his replacement doesn't want her. An orphan and ostracised by the rest of the village, she's got nowhere to go. Eventually, she is taken in by the Sisters of Mercy and after caring for cholera-ridden children she gets a chance to nurse in the Crimea, where she hopes to find Gideon."

Leaving messages for Gideon's letters to be forwarded on to her, she is taken in by the Sisters of Mercy and looks after cholera-ridden children in Plymouth. With a shortage of nurses in the Crimea, Alice finds herself given a chance to see if Gideon loves her as much as she loves him - when they can catch up with each other."@en
