Hard times ahead for the Harpers girls...
It is two years since Harpers opened in Oxford Street and Ben is
planning to expand the premises.
Life is good for Sally and Ben as they look forward to their first child
and hope for a prosperous future. Beth is settling into married life
with Jack, gradually recovering from her aunt's tragic death, though
still unable to conceive a child.
New girls have joined Harpers and Marion, Janice and Becky all become a
part of the daily life at the busy store. Rachel is undecided whether to
marry a man she isn't sure she can trust, while Minnie meets an old
love.
The sun is shining in English streets but on the horizon dark clouds
gather over Europe and war looms threatening bringing rainy days for the
Harpers girls...
