1917: As the war reaches its final moments, the families of the Somerset village of Street take comfort in new arrivals among them, but can they allow themselves to hope, or are more dark times around the corner? Following her recent marriage to Lucas, Louisa is delighted to discover she is expecting. But after everything she's lost since the war began, dare she believe that this is a sign of brighter days ahead? Meanwhile, Louisa's friends Kate and Jeannie struggle to balance factory work alongside their responsibilities at home, with shortages, illness and bad news from the front putting them under ever more pressure. Then unexpected news means that Jeannie can finally get her heart's desire but can she accept her happiness at someone else's expense? And when Kate's tyrannical father dies, Kate pledges never to let another man have power over her, and to forge a career for herself, whatever it takes.
