The Devonshire village of Ford is full of excitement at the arrival of its new doctor, the dashing young Scotsman Jamie Murray. Maggs Fletcher frequents the local pub in the hope of a chance meeting with him, but it is her sister, Crista, to whom Jamie has taken a shine. Not that Maggs is exactly drinking on her own. Her admirers include Dickie Trippett, her childhood sweetheart, scarred for life in the First World War, and handsome, confident and rich Rupert Swain. For Maggs, Rupert wins hands down - except that he is a member of the most hated family in Ford... As Maggs and Crista's lives progress, they come to realise that those young, seemingly carefree days have, in fact, shaped their entire destinies...
