Lake District, 1942, the women at Mary Vale Mother and Baby Home must pull together during their darkest hour . . .

Sybil would rather be anywhere else. She hoped to spend the season in London but an unexpected pregnancy soon put paid to those plans.
While poor Rosie arrives with her two children in tow - their lives torn apart after their house was bombed.
And when new midwife Edith joins it's clear she has her own secrets to hide.
Then one day Mary Vale faces the ultimate threat, requisition by the army and the mothers and midwives must find comfort and friendship in one another.
But can they also find the strength to fight for their Home?
