When she accepts a headmistress position in Liverpool, she hopes a new beginning will help mend her broken heart. Lana loves teaching the children from the local village and nearby Dr. Barnardo's orphanage. But when she falls for a man who she once considered the enemy, she is torn between what she knows is right and taking a risk that might see her lose everything. There are children that desperately need her help, and Lana must fight for everyone's happiness as well as her own. And one young girl in particular shows her that when all seems lost, there is always a glimmer of hope to be found.
