Description
Life in 1920s Liverpool is secure and comfortable for the Jenkins sisters, Gloria and Betty. Their father, Harry, is often away, but Sal is a capable and warm-hearted mother. Gloria's life is turned upside down when her wealthy but snobbish aunt, Sybil, offers her the opportunity of a lifetime: a trip to New York.
Gloria's journey takes her to the city that never sleeps, where she finds everything she desires - including a wealthy husband. But Betty has chosen a different path, pursuing a career at sea that offers challenges and romance. As the Wall Street Crash of 1929 strikes, the sisters face trials that test their bonds of family and force them to re-evaluate their priorities.
Through it all, the sisters come to value the ties that bind them more than ever. Will they eventually achieve the happiness they desire? This dramatic saga is a compelling tale of love, family, and the challenges of the past.
