Independent, intelligent, witty Hannah Mole is a farmer's daughter educated above her station. All her life she has been a companion/housekeeper coming into other people's lives and forced out when no longer needed. At age forty, Hannah once again is dismissed and returns to her cottage only to be forced out by a man she once loved, a slimy World War I veteran who has the power to ruin her reputation and therefore her livelihood.
Downtrodden, she returns to her beloved city of Radstowe.. Here she is employed by the pompous Reverend Corder to look after his motherless children. Hannah's zest for life in spite of all its hardships, her capacity to call a spade a spade and her compassionate nature transform the people whose lives she encounters.
