1951. Meg and Steven Caraford count their blessings: their farm is prospering, they have a baby boy, and Steven’s troublesome half-brother, Fred, has moved to Canada. Then Steven’s mother takes in Ruth, a young female lodger with a small daughter.
Steven and Meg are shocked to learn that Ruth is Fred’s illegitimate daughter, born as a result of rape. The family helps Ruth to recover from her traumatic past, but there will be obstacles to overcome – not least the frightening prospect of Fred’s return.
A Home Of Our Own is a moving romantic drama about learning to trust again and the strength of true love. It is the sequel to Coming Home.
