Cara's Land

FROM THE WEBSITE:
Cara Dunning came to the remote Beckwith Farm in a Yorkshire dale as a young landgirl during the Second World War. The farm had been owned by the Hendry family since the year 1700. When she fell in love with and married Edward Hendry it was not what her family wanted for her. He was fifteen years older than Cara, a pacifist, a widower with two children, one of whom bitterly resented her new stepmother. But Cara was determined to make the marriage work, in spite of the hard life on the farm, in spite of Edward's reserved personality and the shadow of Nancy, his former wife.

Cara's greatest ally was Edward's mother. Edith Hendry was to see Cara through many tragedies and vicissitudes and through years of trying to run the sheep farm on her own until, in the end, happiness came from an unexpected source.
