In changing times, even the strongest must fight to hold on...
At the dawn of a new century, mill mistress Verity Hardcastle and her husband Oliver welcome their long-awaited twins: gentle, golden-hearted Briony and spirited, stormy Blaise. From the beginning, their children seem destined to pull in different directions but the Hardcastles stand united, proud stewards of Lockwood Mill and its tight-knit community of hardworking girls.
As the winds of change sweep through Yorkshire from the rise of the suffragette movement to the shadow of war the mill stands firm. But cracks begin to show, not just among the mill girls, but within the Hardcastle family itself.
When a new mill girl arrives, bringing disruption in her wake, Verity and Oliver must fight to protect everything they hold dear. Loyalties will be tested, secrets unearthed, and the ties of love and family stretched to their limits.
Can the Hardcastles weather the storm, or will this be the end of everything they ve built?
A sweeping, heartwarming saga of love, loyalty and resilience perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Emma Hornby.
