Lizzie finds that life in the Birmingham blitz is hard. Her husband is away fighting in the war and her children have been sent to Donegal for safety. She’s grateful for her job in munitions but not so happy when that means going home in the blackout.
On one cold, foggy night she is attacked. She comes round, battered and bruised, unable to remember the details. As there is nobody to help her bear the consequences, she must turn in desperation to her own parents. They do their best but Lizzie is almost destroyed by the future they arrange.
All her life Lizzie has let other people make decisions for her. Now, faced with daily cruelty, a fresh resolve is born. Her father declares that she’s no daughter of his – but Lizzie makes the biggest decision of her life, to save her own child. And from this point, no-one will tell her what to do ever again.
