Description
Stella arrives at Hallows Farm with a mix of determination and heartache, leaving behind a naval officer who was once her life. Agatha brings a new kind of education to the farm, having recently graduated from Cambridge. Prue, a hairdresser from Manchester, is used to a different pace of life, but finds herself in manual labour instead of painting the town red. As the three women settle into their new roles on the farm, they face hard work and the challenges of war. Joe's dreams of leaving the family farm are put on hold as he becomes involved with his new colleagues. Despite the difficulties, a sense of camaraderie begins to form among the women, and excitement builds as the RAF dance approaches. Life in the countryside is not without its surprises, but for Stella, Agatha, Prue, and Joe, it may just become an unexpected kind of home.
