Somewhere Behind The Morning

In working class Leeds of 1914 sisters Julia and Margaret Wood are struggling to rise above devastating poverty. War seems inevitable and their German-Jewish father's search for work proves hopeless. It is self-educated entrepreneurial Julia who keeps the family afloat by hawking home-made pies on the streets of Leeds while Margaret an apprentice milliner and new member of the suffragette set pins her hopes on a rich suffragette Mrs Turner and her journalist son Tom. As war rages Julia discovers for herself the meaning of courage and looks forward to that fresh magical start - somewhere behind the morning.
