East London, 1916: The Sanctuary Lane Animal Hospital is proving a huge success.
For its founder Ruby Archer, this is a dream come true – and her blossoming romance with a local boy is the icing on the cake.
But in wartime things change in the blink of an eye. When a heartbreaking tragedy shatters Ruby’s world, suddenly she is at odds with everyone – her family, her friends, and even her sweetheart. And when the hospital is threatened with immediate closure, she’s not sure who to trust.
With the festivities fast approaching, Ruby desperately needs a miracle. But who can she turn to?
And will she find out what really matters in time for Christmas day?

I was hooked from the start. The meticulous period detail and true-to-life characters had me immersed in the action, and I didn’t want the story to end. A joy to read -- Vicki Beeby, author of The Ops Room Girls
A big-hearted book which had me glued from beginning to end. With a sassy, brave and instantly loveable character in Ruby, I was with her through every step, high and low, in this wonderfullly engaging novel. Be prepared to have a few tissues to hand as this is both an emotional and heartwarming read! Impeccably researched, the author brings the East End of London during the first world war vividly to life. I recommend this book to animal and historical fiction lovers alike! -- Louise Fein, author of People Like Us
