The Village is beautiful, a place of order and security, but it harbours three outsiders-Ellen the tinker's daughter, returning with her father to the place where he grew up, a freewoman among serfs; William, whose father is Lord of the Manor; and Sam, who is 'different'. As each strives to find their identity and their place in a world where they can never fully feel accepted, they are unexpectedly faced with a bigger challenge: the Black Death. How will they cope with the terror that is all around them? What inner resources can they find to make sense of life? In the face of such devastation, can things ever be the same, or what new world should they build? As each of them tells their story, we see the glimmerings of hope and new life in the midst of great uncertainty. Ellen, William and Sam-three young people with an extraordinary challenge to face.

<p>"There's that dog again," said Luke.\nLots of dogs were being walked, because it was Sunday afternoon. Some were on leads and some were off, chasing balls or sticks or just running. But this dog was all on its own.\nLuke cannot forget the lonely dog with its hungry brown eyes. It seems to be nobody's dog, so Luke and his friend Mr Bronzovi decide to look after it.\nBut it's not as easy as Luke thinks.\nLuke learns that sometimes God seems slow in answering our prayers, and sometimes it seems as if He is not listening at all. Sometimes He answers in a different way than we are expecting - but He always answers. As the dog in the park learns to trust Luke, Luke learns to trust God.</p>
