Description
Rachel Booker has had a difficult start in life. When her father dies, deep in debt, her mother is left to make ends meet. Mother and daughter work together at Birmingham's Rag Market, selling second-hand clothes to put food on the table. Rachel's friendship with her first childhood friend, Danny, blossoms into something more and she falls pregnant just as WWII breaks out. The young couple marry in haste but it isn't long before Danny is called up. Left on the home front with a new baby, Rachel must scrape by. If Danny ever makes it back, will he be the same boy she loved so fiercely?
