‘Aneira has written a memoir which is a deeply personal, richly researched and incredibly timely tribute to Britain’s commitment to provide free and equal healthcare to all.’ - Daily Mail Book of the Week, 22 May 2020


‘This book speaks from the heart about a passion to preserve our NHS - as powerful a symbol of goodness as we have. Nye’s own experience and that of her family represents our deep need to fight for a society where all are equal in worth and value. And how the NHS stands fast as a symbol of equality, of fairness, and of compassion for all.’ Michael Sheen


‘I am a proud supporter of our National Health Service which has shown yet again what an important and valued institution it is in the UK. As the first NHS baby through to her work today, Aneira’s story shows her dedication and passion for protecting this phenomenal service for future generations.’ Keir Starmer
