Katy dreams of a
better life than being a servant at Cheadle Manor but her attempt to escape its
confines is thwarted. The ensuing scandal
draws her back under the authority of the local parish, before personal tragedy
catapults her into the wider conflict of World War One. While daffodils spring into life, bringing
renewal and hope, equal numbers of young men are cut down and Katy longs to
play her part in the struggle.
Should Katy leave behind
the stifling hierarchy of Edwardian society by going to the battlefields of
France, or succumb to a different, more tempting offer?
While seeking the
answer, Katy makes true friends, and learns new and surprising skills, but the
brutality of global war brings home the price she has paid for her search.
