Crumford, Kent, 1915

WWI is now in full swing and with their brothers away fighting the Graham sisters have an increasingly important role to play at the family smock mill. But while Daisy and her cousin Olive are both nursing and Holly has taken on the role of a busy mother and wife, Cynthia is stretched to her ends trying to help her husband keep the business afloat. Violet, meanwhile, having lost interest in the bakery, is heavily involved in the suffragette movement, causing rifts among the family.

But through the ups and downs of war, love could be blossoming. When Daisy meets a dashing young doctor in Canterbury they embark on a flirtation. But everything is not as it may seem. when the family's reputation is put at stake, the Graham girls must pull together - or risk losing everything.
