1916: As fighting in Europe continues, the Clarks Factory Girls find themselves caught in a divided community...
With the country in the grips of conscription, the pacifism at the heart of Street village comes under scrutiny, and when Kate befriends Gerald, a young Quaker arrested for refusing to fight, she starts to understand the true dilemma the community finds itself in.
Still grieving the loss of her sweetheart Mattie, Louisa finds herself at odds with her parents, who refused them the chance to marry. As her mother's attempts to find Louisa a husband show no signs of abating, Louisa takes solace in her friendship with Jeannie's brother Lucas, but could an unexpected opportunity offer a solution to both their problems?
Meanwhile, Jeannie finds herself torn between her heart and her faith. With each other's help, can the girls hold true to what they believe in, even as the village enters its darkest days yet?
