The Powerful Saga of Women who must Learn to Love Again!

Love Rises From the Ashes of War.

It is 1947.  A grey drizzle falls from the smoky sky of Glasgow watering the flowers of rememberance and, in the distance, a bell tolls for the fallen.  The wind of change which is blowing throughout the post-war world is as a gentle breeze to some members of the Maccallum family.  But to others, it is a tornado of conflicting passions, tragic irony, and storm-tossed emotions...

Mairi returns to Germany to search for her husband, Erich, who had been exiled to the coal mines in Silesia.  Will she ever see him again - and can their love be rekindled after her heart-rending affair with his brother Maxl?

Veda is desperately worried about her father in Assam, as rioting and murder follow in the wake of India's new-found freedom.  And she sees less of her husband, Charles, as he struggles to save the family's ailing, and seemingly doomed, shipbuilding business.

Fionna is tragically widowed but fights to fulfil her life's dream by becoming a nurse in Africa.
