Can a long-kept secret ruin the future happiness of two families? Welcome to Paisley, Scotland 1745 ____________
Meg and Duncan Montgomery move to the flourishing Scottish town of Paisley to find work in the thriving weaving industry. Soon, Meg is expecting their first child, Margaret.
To make ends meet, they live in Peter Todd's household, Duncan's employer and Meg's days are filled with domestic duties. But soon Meg and Duncan find themselves caught up in the intricate lives of the Todd family and when a tragic accident causes further conflict, a decision is made to keep a terrible secret from Meg.
As Margaret grows older, she despairs of the town's inequality and becomes an advocate for the poor. While her philanthropic ideals are tolerated, even accepted by her understanding parents, Margaret's affection for her childhood friend William Todd is greeted with disapproval.
But Margaret wants more from life than marriage and is overjoyed when she is taken on as a teacher at the local hospital.
As a dark secret from the past looms over the lives of both families, threatening to tear apart their futures, the younger Todds and Montgomery's must decide between following in their parents' footsteps or forging their own paths
