About

Can Harpers survive and thrive through the Great Depression?
London 1931
Sally Harper has not a moment to draw breath following the tragic death of husband Ben. Heartbroken, she has no choice but to remain strong as many people's livelihoods depend on Harpers Emporium surviving the tough times and depression suffocating the country and its people.
Then there are also her children Jenny and Peter who are trying to come to terms with the loss of their father whilst growing up. Peter is struggling manfully to cope but Jenny's grief has made her angry and defiant.
Decisions must be made about their future and the legacy they will one day inherit, a burden that would be easier to bear if Ben was still alive. Peter wants to be a chef and Jenny has a burning desire to sing on the stage. Can Sally help them realise their dreams? For now, Sally can only do her best with the unwavering support of her friends and family.
Meanwhile at Harpers, Beth Burrow's is surprised to discover she's expecting her third child and things are looking up for both Kitty Wilson and Maureen Wright who are thriving in their new roles. Can they also be lucky in love? And will Sally find some time to look after herself and not just everyone else?
A tale of renewed hope, dreams and survival set against the tough 1930's and the Great Depression.
Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Pam Howes and Dilly Court.
