When Charlie Higgins is unfairly dismissed from his job
in a Leicester shoe factory his family become crippled by
poverty. Refusing to surrender to her husband's misfortunes,
Annie manages to keep food on the table and faith in their
hearts. Until tragedy strikes again.
With the threat of the workhouse looming over them,
Annie and her young son Georgie seek refuge with their
only relatives: the Burbages — a family they have never met
and know nothing about. At Meadowfield Farm, sweet-
natured Archie is overjoyed that he has such a beautiful
young niece, but his scheming wife Kath sees Annie
as an intruder she would rather be without.
Adapting to farmlife is a gruelling experience for Annie and
Georgie, but hard work and cheerfulness earn them respect.
And Annie learns more than she'd bargained for about her
heritage. But at the back of her mind she knows that one
day she must return to Leicester to confront the memories
she has left behind and begin a new life for herself
and her son...
