Description
In Gilded Age New York, Una Kelly survives by her wits—and by picking pockets—until an unexpected opportunity allows her to assume a nurse’s identity at Bellevue Hospital. Amid overcrowded wards, dangerous conditions, and the rigid expectations placed on women, Una discovers both the demanding realities of nursing and a chance to build a life beyond the streets. As her carefully guarded secret threatens to unravel, she must confront questions of identity, ambition, and the price of reinvention. Inspired by the pioneering women and harsh medical world of the era, this richly atmospheric historical novel explores resilience, compassion, and the courage to claim a future of one’s own.
