West Yorkshire, 1913. Mill girl Lacey Barraclough refuses to accept the life society has chosen for her.
Nineteen-year-old Lacey Barraclough is no ordinary mill girl. Toiling in the sweltering, soot-stained weaving sheds of Brearley's Mill in Garsthwaite, she refuses to let the harsh conditions break her spirit. Outspoken and fiercely intelligent, Lacey dreams of a fairer world and isn't afraid to fight for the rights of her fellow workers.
Her fierce defiance catches the eye of Nathan Brearley, the handsome and privileged son of the mill owner. Despite the gulf in their social standing, a powerful attraction sparks between them. But in a town bound by rigid class divides, their budding romance is fraught with danger.
As the dark clouds of the Great War gather over Europe and threaten to change their world forever, Lacey and Nathan must decide what they are willing to sacrifice.
Can a humble weaver and a wealthy heir bridge the divide that separates them, or will society's prejudices and the devastating outbreak of war tear them apart?
