In working-class Leeds of 1914, sisters Julia and Margaret Wood are
striving to rise above devastating poverty. War seems inevitable
and angry feelings about foreigners have reached boiling point,
their German-Jewish father's search for work proves to be
hopeless.It is self-educated, entrepreneurial Julia who keeps the
family afloat by hawking homemade pies on the streets of Leeds. Her
beautiful elder sister, Margaret, an apprentice milliner and new
member of the suffragette set, seeks a faster way out of
destitution, pinning her hopes to a rich suffragette, Mrs Turner,
and her journalist son, Thomas.But as the Great War rages, Julia
discovers for herself the meaning of courage, and looks forward to
that new day, that fresh, magical start, somewhere behind the
morning.
