Can love blossom in times of trouble?
Life-long friends Louisa, Jeannie and Kate are following in the footsteps of their families, working at the Clarks shoe factory.
But when Britain declares war on Germany, the Somerset village of Street is shaken to its core. The Clarks factory is at the heart of life in the village, but the Clark family are Quakers and pacifists. Before long, there are fierce debates amongst the workers and tensions between those who oppose the war and those who believe the village men should go to fight.
Each of the girls must decide her own position but as brothers and sweethearts leave for France, Louisa is relieved that her beloved Mattie, a Quaker, won't be signing up. But she'll soon find that they face fierce opposition at home as well as across the Channel.
Will the girls' friendship be enough to keep them together, as everything around them falls apart?
A heartwarming and gripping new saga series perfect for fans of Elaine Everest and Rosie Clarke.
