Maids Hannah and Mary find themselves with no jobs and no home when their employer, Henry Sudell, loses all his money and disappears in the middle of the night. They have no choice but to return to Blackburn where Hannah is lucky to be taken in by her sister Jennet and brother-in-law, Titus, but Mary must seek lodgings in the infamous Star beer house. Mary tries to get her job back as a weaver, but the influx of workers from the countryside and no support for the working class means that jobs are scarce. With no other choice she remains at the beer house, forced to risk her reputation and even her life. In the middle of a cholera outbreak and political upheaval, can Mary ever find a way to recover all she's lost?

Jo Melling has arrived in Birch End from Australia, still grieving her father's recent death. She's not intending to stay long, but after tracking down her distant family, Jo becomes more involved in village life than she could ever have imagined - and suddenly in danger too. Jo also finds herself drawn to Nick, a handsome newcomer to the village. Nick had planned to settle in Birch End and start a business, but as he grows closer to Jo, he realises he may have to choose between his dreams and a chance at love. Meanwhile, the new local council are faced with some tough decisions of their own. It's time to take a stand against the poor conditions in Backshaw Moss, the nearby slum, but some councillors want things to stay as they are - and will go to any lengths to make sure they get their way . . . Will the decent people of the valley win a brighter future for themselves? And can Jo find a way to stay with Nick in a place she's grown to love?

During the war, Christa Sommer boarded the Kindertransport with a group of children fleeing Nazi Germany, unsure whether she would ever see her beloved parents. In England she was taken in by elderly Mrs Pelling, who grew to love Christina as the daughter she never had. Now, in 1945, Mrs Pelling dies. No will can be found and her money-grabbing niece tries to claim the inheritance, throwing Christa out onto the street. With no job or place to stay, Christa is desperate. Luck comes her way when she saves Daniel's aunt from being mugged. Since she's homeless and Daniel is one of Mayne Esher's partners, they take her with them to Rivenshaw, where they plan to start a new life as part of the Esher building firm. There Christa is welcomed with open arms and soon develops a love for the huge old house... and for Daniel. But Esherwood is not the trouble-free sanctuary it first seems and all those who live there have some big challenges to overcome if they are to see even a glimmer of the happy ending they deserve...

Keara Michaels doesn’t want to leave her family in Ireland, but fate sends her first to Lancashire, where she works for the Mullanes, then later across the sea to Australia. And Theo Mullane, the man who loves her, is married with an ailing baby son, so cannot follow her as he longs to. Mark Gibson left Lancashire to avoid marriage, but found gold-prospecting in Australia a dangerous pursuit. When he settles in a country town, his gentle young wife dies in childbirth and his father-in-law kidnaps the baby. So Mark runs away again, this time to Western Australia, where he employs Keara in his country inn. But danger threatens them all, even Keara’s sisters in Ireland. Theo is eventually free to come looking for the woman he loves, and Mark at last confronts his past.

Across the nation there is a desperate shortage of housing and other goods. In the town of Rivenshaw, Judith and Mayne Esher's only hope of preserving their war-damaged, stately family home is to turn it into flats. When Mayne opens it up to his army friends who will be starting a building business with him, it soon becomes clear that the house isn't the only thing which needs fixing. Victor is fighting his late wife's mother for custody of his daughter Betty. Ros has been cheated out of her money and has nowhere else to go. Daniel, still unsettled after his wartime experiences, is waiting for his divorce to go through and has family problems that take him away from Rivenshaw. And no one's even heard from Francis...

After a stray bomb hit his childhood home in Hertfordshire, the only thing that has kept Francis Brady going is the thought that soon he'll be joining war-time friends Mayne, Daniel and Victor in their new dream building firm in Lancashire. But things are not going to plan: Francis' wife is having a change of heart about moving up north and her parents seem set on destroying his reputation. Francis is loath to risk his marriage, but how can he turn down the opportunity of a new life in Rivenshaw? Meanwhile newly married Mayne and Judith's plans to convert Esherwood house into flats have come to an abrupt halt. They've discovered stolen valuables in the old Nissen hut. But who hid them there? And are these people also responsible for something else found in the shelter, a shocking surprise? With so much going against them, can these four friends ever turn their dreams into reality?

1945 – the war in Europe is over. It should be a time of utter joy and celebration... Most women can't wait for their men to return, but in the small town of Rivenshaw in Lancashire, Judith Crossley fears having her husband back in the house. Before he'd left for the war, he'd grown into a bully and a drunkard, and on the occasions he'd come home from leave, he'd hit her. He wasn't a good father either. Luckily, Judith has found an unlikely ally, a friend to turn to – Maynard Esher, from an old aristocratic family on the other side of town. But Judith knows that when her husband returns, she and her children will be back in the firing line again. She decides that for the children's sake, she must leave her husband. But with the house rented in his name, and other accommodation scarce, where on earth can they go...?

As the only female cabinet maker in the valley in 1935, Frankie Redfern is unusual. She faces prejudice even from her own mother. But she's content working for her father, and is unwilling to give up her independence or the work she loves for marriage. When her husband falls gravely ill, Frankie's mother takes over, causing serious trouble for her daughter. And her cousin, an unscrupulous local builder, starts to help her for his own reasons. Jericho Harte has never met a woman he wanted to marry until he bumps into Frankie on the moors. When she comes to him the next day with an extraordinary suggestion, it seems a marriage of convenience might suit them both. Or could their relationship become more than that? But Frankie's problems worsen as her father goes missing from hospital. Is there more to his illness than met the eye?
