A compelling and visceral story that touches the depths of human hearts. Based on a true encounter by the author, H.O.WARD, presents his character Doris as a homeless vagabond on the streets of London in 1966, where she has the misfortune to fall ill and taken to hospital by her street friend Harry. It is Harry who continues the story of Doris, a tender and caring Queen Alexandra Nurse, telling of her journey through military training in Inverarary, Scotland, her experience of war torn Italy in Anzio, and her romance in Florence, before her forced return to London, England. As with all lives, they should not be judged on the merits of the surroundings in which the person is first encountered, but by the complete understanding and quality of the person, if they should then be judged at all. Read what can only be described as a sensitive walk through the life of a lovely lady, with its highs and heart-wrenching lows.

About the Author
When I first conceived the idea to write Doris, I had already thought of becoming a writer some years previous but could not find a niche in which to express myself. However, the event that determined I should write a book, the details of which I will not begin to disgust you with, happened quite accidentally while out walking one autumn Sunday afternoon. After a long thoughtful period, putting a plot and story line together with my idea I began to write. I quickly realised that I should research some of the places and events that began to unfold within the story; recognising that I was tripping myself up with some of the events I had concocted.
