At the turn of the last century, in the north of England, a family
struggles to survive. It could be the story of any number of real
people, and indeed, it just may be... Da' has gone to India with
the Army, leaving Ma to fend for the children. Jim is a good strong
lad, but gets into trouble; Katie works in the big house, where the
master ruthlessly takes advantage of her youthful beauty; and poor
young Mick contracts tuberculosis. The family must face and conquer
these trials, and there is one thing that helps to strengthen their
tortured hearts in these, their darkest hours - their love and
kinship, and their faith. A gritty, yet life-affirming tale of the
triumph of the human spirit and kindness over grinding poverty and
seemingly insurmountable odds.
