It's 1942 and nestled on the edge of the Lake District lies Mary Vale, a sanctuary for expectant mothers. Its doors open to two women from London with vastly different experiences. After their house is bombed Rosie Lashley's ill health forces her to travel with her children to Mary Vale. She improves under the care of the dedicated midwives, but her unruly children cause quite the stir! Whilst beautiful socialite Sybil Harwood would rather be anywhere else than Mary Vale. She is desperate to have her baby adopted and return to her glittering life in the capital. Meanwhile the Home welcomes new midwife Edith, who has her own secrets to hide. As the War rages on Mary Vale must pull together after the army threatens to requisition the Home and close its doors to women in need forever. Can this precious Home survive the War? And can these women find sanctuary in one another?
