The threat of war is looming over Blackpool, but Martha and Trisha are determined not to let it dampen their spirits.
With two young evacuees for Martha to take care of, and Trisha's market garden business growing as Britain digs for victory, the friends have their hands full.
Both are proud to see their daughters making their own way in the world, even in wartime. Sally has become a ballerina and Bonnie is training to become a doctor. The girls' friendship brings them all happiness and hope.
But Martha is troubled by her visions for their daughters' futures. War, tragedy and falling in love will put Sally and Bonnie's lifelong friendship to the test. But can their families pull together and see them through?
