Just down the road, Aaron Brierley is also in difficulties. When his wife dies, he loses his job and his home. With two small children and no jobs in the district he is desperate. What use was it being an officer during the war, if he can't support his family now? And having a gammy leg from his injuries doesn't help, either. But when Eva needs help, it's Aaron who supplies it without hesitation. And in turn she helps his two motherless daughters.

Come and meet a cast of memorable characters and the vivid evocation of a period when a motor car and electric light were still novelties beyond the purse of ordinary people, and the cameraderie between former soldiers still strong.
