Two women, with a child between them, and a secret that will change everything… in London, in the year 1754 AD. Bess Bright returns to Foundling Shelter where she had left her illegitimate daughter Jane six years ago, and requests to retrieve the child she did not know in her life. The worst thing for Bess was that Jane had died in the custody of the shelter, but she is stunned when told that she has already retrieved her. Her life turns upside down when she tries to find out who took her little daughter – and why. In a quiet and gloomy house on the outskirts of London, less than a mile from Bess's residence in the city, a young widow has been living there for a decade without leaving the house. When her close friend – the ambitious young doctor at Foundling Shelter – urges her to appoint a nursemaid for her daughter, she becomes hesitant to welcome a new person into her home and her life. But her past threatens to haunt her and tear apart the world she has carefully built.
