When their father, too, falls victim to the typhoid, his only hope is to go to hospital, leaving Polly to cope alone. Thankfully she has the support of her neighbours: Bertha Halliday and her son, Leo, a young policeman. Through all the hardships that follow, Polly is sustained by her dream of becoming Leo's wife. But her father's hot temper leads him to the wrong side of the law during the railway riots of 1911, forcing Leo to take drastic action that Polly will surely never be able to forgive and forget . . .

Margaret Dickinson Boxed Set

A young girl stands alone in the cobbled market place of a small Lincolnshire town, bedraggled, soaked through and very afraid. Who is she? Where has she come from and from whom is she running away? No one knows or cares. Only kindly farmer, Eddie Appleyard, recognises something in the girl that touches his heart. In a drunken haze and scarcely realising what he is doing, Eddie takes her home even though his wife is a tyrant, who will believe the worst. `Is this your fancy piece?` Bertha accuses and turns Anna out into the cold, wet night.
Eddie hides the girl in the hayloft and, later, in a tumbledown shepherd`s cottage that becomes her new home. Anna`s arrival will change their lives; Eddie`s, Bertha`s and even that of their young son, Tony, torn between his warring parents and the mysterious stranger. It will take years for the secrets of Anna`s former life to be revealed, but Bertha bides her time and awaits her moment, little realising the tragedy her vengeance will unleash.
