Angela McClusky arrived in the Birmingham, from Ireland, to escape soul-breaking poverty. But life in 1920's Black Country has been tougher than she imagined...

Angela has known nothing by hardship and heartbreak; losing a husband in The Great War, the threat of ruin whilst raising a daughter alone...as well as hiding a dark secret she's tried desperately to forget.

Kind-hearted Stan, who runs Bell Barn Road's Grocers shop is the only flicker of light in her life. But Angela knows he could never love her back if her knew the truth about her past... Then, tragedy strikes. Not only is Angela's beloved daughter Connie critically injured, but Angela unexpectedly comes face to face with her guilt and shame.

Her secret out in the open, this could be Angela and Stan's final chance at love, if only they'll allow themselves this one last chance at happiness...
