Nell and Tommy each guard a secret that could change both their lives.
For Nell Williams, life was a daily struggle to make ends meet. She'd inherited the market stall from her sister Dot and she wanted to make something of it. But she wasn't prepared for the harsh reality. The one bright star in her life was Henry Linton, the draper's son. Their lives were very different but he offered the promise of a comfortable life.
Irishman, Tommy O'Sullivan, came to England seeking a better life. Instead, he was just one step away from the workhouse. But his sister's lives depended on him. He had to keep going. Nell gave Tommy another reason to fight. Whilst her heart belonged to another, just seeing her smile made his day and it didn't stop him dreaming.
Then, a series of devastating events pitches all of their lives into turmoil. Will Nell's secret mean that she can never be happy? Or will fate deal another twist?
