With the homeland under German fire and the mortal coil wound tight, the true story of Violet Macdonald is revealed. It tells of how this young woman from northeast Yorkshire rises up from the strife of daily life, to find her way to a place that she never believed possible.

The action spans the years 1916 to 1952 in England with most events and relationships accurate. This full-length dramatization is representative of not so much an extraordinary life lived, but of an ordinary, working-class, Yorkshire-woman experiencing extraordinary times.

This two-act play portrays 11 characters, but can be played with only 4 actors (it is written specifically for doubling).
