It's May Day and there are good and bad things happening in Norton Dene.
Somerset, 1934
The May Day celebrations are underway and offer some light relief from the daily hardships and a glimmer of hope for a brighter future for the folk of Norton Dene.
Conscientious Sister Edith Harrison has her fortune told and a handsome, tall dark stranger is predicted to be on the horizon for her affections. Imagine her surprise when a mysterious stranger arrives in town with a hidden agenda that will upset those at Orchard Manor House. It seems like there are some ghosts from the past that need to be put to rest.
Drawn to Ben Tyler, Sister Edith makes it her mission to discover the reason for his arrival and protect him from those who mean him harm.
Meanwhile Doctor Frances Brakespeare has been handed an ultimatum by the Reverend Gregory Sampson and is torn between love and duty - or can she have both?
Perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Fenella Miller and Patricia McBride.
