N2  - Staffordshire, 1911. Ginnie Jones's childhood is spent in the shadow of the famous Potteries. But as her father's eyesight fails, money is in short supply. With no hope left, Ginnie is sent to Haddon Workhouse. Separated from everything she has known, Ginnie grows up fast. When she meets Clara and Sam, she hopes that she has made friends for life... until tragedy strikes, snatching away her happiness. Leaving Haddon three years later, Ginnie finds work as a mouldrunner at the Potteries, but never stops thinking about her friends in the workhouse; especially Sam. When he and Ginnie are reunited, their bond is as strong as ever - until Sam is sent to fight in the war. Faced with uncertainty, can Ginnie find joy once more? Or will her heart be broken again?
