"Arguably the best of all writers of hospital fiction." Nursing Times

Jo spends each night shift "specialing" journalist Bill Francis. Then Bill's condition takes a turn for the worse, and the young pair are brought much closer together. Is this real love, or just a reaction to an intensely emotional situation?

Meanwhile, Jo thinks that Senior Surgical Officer Richard "Red" Leland would make an ideal husband for her widowed Aunt Margaret, and sets out to play matchmaker. But will Red and Margaret appreciate Jo's intentions?

Bill's father, General Francis, is also admitted to St Benedict's Hospital, and Margaret is persuaded to return to her former career as his private nurse. Can she protect his feelings as well as his health?

The lives and emotions of these staff and patients become ever more intertwined, as they move in hospital circles.
