The Midwife at Ivy Cottage

Imogen holds the faded photograph of a baby up to the golden light by the ivy-covered cottage. Her breath catches. The sweet face reminds her of a child she once cared for… and can never forget. Who is this baby, and why was his photograph hidden here?

After heartbreak turned her world upside down, Imogen was forced to leave her nursing job and the life she had built behind. Now she has come to a beautiful countryside village, where she’s renovating a tumbledown cottage she hopes to call home. She never imagined the wartime secrets it’s hiding. Or that working alongside Jaz, the warm-hearted, handsome local builder with a kind smile, will make her light up in a way she hasn’t for a long time…

Hidden inside the cottage she discovers the photograph of a baby, and the incredible story of Julia, a midwife who once lived at Ivy Cottage. Julia devoted her life to caring for the village’s mothers and babies during World War Two, at a time when every birth was full of danger. Including a tiny infant who she was determined to save…

As Imogen pieces together the little boy’s story and Julia’s extraordinary courage, she begins to confront the loss she has buried for so long. With Jaz by her side, could Ivy Cottage finally be the place where her heart begins to heal?

A beautiful, heart-wrenching and uplifting novel about love, loss, found family and new beginnings. Fans of Barbara O’Neal, Tricia O’Malley and Liz Eeles will adore escaping to the wild, sweeping moors and cosy villages of Dartmoor.
