After the loss of war, can there be hope for the future? Manchester,
1922. Belinda Layton is a surplus girl. One of the many women whose
dreams of marriage perished in the Great War, with the death of her
beloved fiancé, Ben. After four years of mourning, she's ready to face
the future, even though Ben's family is not happy to see her move on,
and her own only cares about getting hold of her meagre factory wages.
Then, Belinda joins a secretarial class and a whole new world opens up
to her as she quickly finds herself drawn to beguiling bookshop owner
Richard Carson. But after all the loss and devastation she has
experienced, can she really trust him with her heart?
