DREAMS FROM MY MOTHER (PB)

It's 1947 and a sheltered Catholic girl is studying Classics at Cambridge when she discovers that she's pregnant. The father is a fellow student and he is black. Their daughter, Elizabeth overcomes a background of shame, stigma, and discrimination, to become one of the UK's greatest ever nurses, and the first ever sickle cell nurse specialist. A story about childhood, race, identity, family, friendship, and hope. Ultimately, an incredibly moving story of a mother and a daughter separated by society, but united in the dreams they shared for her future.
