This is the inspirational story of Kitty Wilkinson, a poor Irish immigrant who, despite a series of personal tragedies, devoted herself to improving lives in the slum communities of Liverpool. It was the turn of the 19th century, she was penniless, an Irish immigrant, a widow and a mother. But, driven by genuine compassion for the unfortunate, she founded the first public wash-house; provided a home for orphans, the sick and the abandoned; and her work helped minimise the impact of one of Liverpool's worst cholera epidemics. This woman was unstoppable.
