London Spring 1920. Harpers is beginning to flourish once more after the end of the war but for Sally Harper the problems continue. Husband Ben is moody sometimes distant and she feels he is shutting her out at home and at work but why? It takes a terrible tragedy to make them realise their love and respect is still true. The ladies and girls who work at Harpers continue to battle with problems in their own lives. Marion is still trying to reach her war-damaged husband and Lilly is battling with her pain and shame. It's a period of transition for all. The doors of Harpers are busy welcoming new and returning staff whilst bidding a fond farewell to others. This is the beginning of a new era and there is a fresh buzz of excitement in the air.
