Description: Call the Midwife meets Dr Barnardo's in this gritty drama that will appeal to fans of Nadine Dorries and Kitty Neale. When there is nowhere else to turn St Saviour's will give them hope It's 1947 and London's East End is still a bombed - out landscape. Sister Beatrice who runs the St Saviour's Children's Home knows that life is still a precarious existence for many children and it seems that there is no end to the constant stream of waifs and strays who appear at their door looking for a safe haven. One such arrival is Mary Ellen whose mother is gravely ill. The one silver lining is her best friend the tearaway Billy Baggins also a resident of the home but Billy seems intent on falling foul of Sister Beatrice's strict regime. New arrival on the staff Angela admires Sister Beatrice but can see that the children need love and kindness as well as a strong hand. When an unwelcome face from Billy's past arrives on the scene things are brought to a head. Can the two women work together to keep Billy on the straight and narrow or is it too late?
