About this series
Springtime brings new life to the Canterbury farm where Betsy has stayed to train the next intake of land girls. Desperate for news of her fiancé, Roland, a World War II soldier missing in action, Betsy's life remains in limbo, until letters from near and far bring news, both good and bad.
Returning home, battle-scarred and weary, William must find a way to feel whole again. No longer a soldier, he needs to find a purpose before he loses himself in the bottom of a beer bottle. Some would say it should be easy to step back into a pre-war life, but they haven't witnessed what William has seen.
Loyalties are tested and daily struggles are amplified in the battle to overcome their personal challenges. Can Betsy and William find support in each other or will they be forever forced to deny the attraction between them?

Canterbury 1941: World War II has left New Zealand farms bereft of young men. Whipsnade Farm, home of the McKnight family becomes a training farm for the young women who leave the city to volunteer as land girls. After farewelling her brothers off to war, Grace encourages her friend Betsy to join her in the Women's Land Army. Betsy comes with the hope farming will keep her busy and without time to ponder the whereabouts of her fiancé, Roland. They are joined at Whipsnade, by the diminutive Alice who sees no option but to sign up, and the vivacious Moira who manages to glam up her overalls and gumboots and maintain her manicure despite the rigours of rural life. Together they learn all the facets of farming, exposed to the weather, the animals and the men that come into their lives. What they learn and what they sacrifice in three months will set the course for their future. Can Grace keep everyone safe under her wings? Even the escaped soldier?

But every war, big or small, has its victims, and despite an alcoholic mother and troubled past, Alice is determined not to be the victim again, ever. Can she trust the conscientious objector, Fergus? Are his feelings for her genuine, or is she part of a plan to escape the World War II soldier ballots? And will a winter storm be Alice's downfall or the impetus to discovering inner strength?
