Synopses

Honour Thy Father

From a young age, Laura Redmond resents the way her father speaks to her mother, Anne, and cannot see past his heated outbursts. As she grows up, her protective love for Anne fuels a love-hate relationship with John Redmond. Many believe the tension comes from how alike they are, but only Laura’s great-grandmother recognises the truth.

When Day is Done

After Kate and Rose Drew are orphaned, they are devastated to learn they will be separated. Kate is sent to Aunt Mildred, who runs a Liverpool boarding house and puts her to work immediately. Rose goes to the wealthy widow Aunt Beattie, who showers her with gifts and attention.

The Land is Bright

When Mam dies, life changes for the Palin children and twelve-year-old Sally tries to take her place. She pins her hopes on her baby sister Emily, determined she will escape the mean streets of their Liverpool home. When Emily is sent to live with rich relatives, Sally’s wish seems to come true, but the opportunity is bittersweet.

To Give and To Take

Sisters Mary and Cathy Ward are very different: Mary is fiercely independent and determined to leave Liverpool behind, while Cathy is quiet, well loved and content with her life. When both fall for the same man, conflict threatens to divide them. As they struggle with their own troubles, Liverpool erupts in the Bloody Sunday riots.

There is a Season

With the Great War over, Cathy is pleased to have her husband home, but her son John feels differently. Trying to keep the peace is difficult as they cannot see eye-to-eye. Supporting four children on Greg’s meagre wages is hard enough, yet with help from her parents and loyal friends in their close-knit Liverpool community, Cathy keeps a smile on her face.
