Sheffield, 1892, and Patrick Halliday rules his household with an iron will, casting out his own daughter the moment she falls pregnant. Flora refuses to abandon her sister, choosing exile alongside her rather than a comfortable life at home. Years later, back in Sheffield's cutlery trade, the two young women rebuild their lives and find unlikely friendship with the Bonsor family, only for the Great War to test every bond they have built. A sweeping saga of sisterly loyalty and the quiet strength mothers find when it matters most.
