Pedlar's Row

Miraculously, no one is killed and local folk feel that Lady Luck was keeping her eye on them that night. Six years later, the Row is home to a close-knit community counting its blessings to have survived the war intact - and full of curiosity about the new family moving into number three. Laura Prior isd unmarried at the age of thirty-four; she has been busy caring for her invalid father while sister Lucy is at work - her husband, Roy, is till in a Japanese POW camp. Laura enjoys the excitement of her new life in Pedlar's Row - not least, because of her growing, attraction to doctor Billy Cassidy.
