1939. As the daughter of a groom at historic Foxden Hall, Bess Dudley has pushed herself to escape her humble background and train as a teacher. Just as she arrives in London to take up her first post, the shadow of war sweeps over England. The city is thrown into chaos and schools close, taking Bess's dreams with them. And she's heartbroken to learn that James Foxden, the handsome heir to Foxden Hall who she's loved since childhood, is engaged to wealthy aristocrat Annabel Hadleigh. After Bess nearly dies in a terrifying air raid, she returns home. Back at Foxden Acres, she becomes a Land Girl. It's back-breaking work and a far cry from the life she dreamed of - even here, the horror of war leaves no life untouched. Then the unthinkable happens, and Bess's resilience and hope are tested to the ultimate limit.
