A new nurse is assigned to Nonnatus House and throughout the year, the lives of all of the Nurses and Nuns will be effected by the newcomer.

With a little help from her grandmother,her parents reluctantly allow their 12 year old daughter to go on her journey with her best friend Houndoom.

Fresh out of nursing school, Delia Busby is thrown into this mess of a woman's life, and is instantly resented. Who is this sniveling kid with her sloppy uniform and cheery smile?

What an absolute nightmare that'll be. She'd be cute is she wasn't so bloody useless and annoying. Four days until Halloween, and Beetlejuice has been bested, for the first time in his death, by a 12-year-old brat in black. Beetlejuice and Lydia are determined take the other one down. They could never be friends! Join the trio as they take off on a determined search to find their white tomorrow on the path of righteousness. Basically, my take on Series 7 but Barbara doesn't die and Patsy and Delia don't go away to travel the world. Patsy's accident will affect them all. This is the story of how Delia and the Nonnatuns cope with the aftermath of the shocking tragedy and band together as a family as Patsy begins her recovery... An ensemble piece with POVs from all of the Nonnatus crew that redefines the term slow burn. Full of angst, all the feels, and a huge amount of love. With its devastatingly beautiful star Patsy Mount in control of every detail, newcomer Delia Busby wonders if she'll have a chance to make her mark - with Patsy or on the eviscerating London stage. Hope this combo interests you, too.
