The Second World War tested women in a multitude of ways. In this set, we see a Yorkshire matriarch open her home, Raven Hall, to the RAF. Two Liverpool friends see everything they have worked for threatened by bombing and separation. A wife who fought her way into an unwelcoming family witnesses events scatter everyone she loves. A WAAF plotter's marriage is further strained before her husband takes to the skies again. Different lives, different regions with one question in common: how do you hold on to what matters?

Four touching novels about people searching to find their 'home'. A Yorkshire family fractured by scandal and grief, trying to find its way back to itself. An Irish mill girl who leaves everything she knows for a new life in Dublin. A Lancashire community rallying around a runaway child and two people who didn't expect to fall in love. A little girl alone in 1950s London, waiting for someone big-hearted enough to take her in. Different times, different places, the same search.
