Meanwhile, in Australia, Luke Fisher returns from the German prisoner of war camp where he was interned. His beloved fiancée Isabella Finnegan is waiting for him.

Can Luke put things right to rescue his loved ones — and his business — in time?
Discover the trials and tribulations of a Yorkshire family through the decades.
