Adapted from the first two parts of the author's novel The Mill Girl, Sarah Harvey is born into a loving but poor family. At the age of fourteen, she starts work at one of the many woollen mills in the small Yorkshire town where she lives. She becomes a knowledgeable employee and, at the age of twenty-two, marries and produces a son who will become her rock after her husband dies when Paul is only four. He develops a friendship with Mark Crowther ? the son of the owner of the mill where Sarah works ? which will have destructive consequences for both families. After marrying William Crowther, Sarah takes over the running of the mill which goes from strength to strength, but there are many obstacles in her way before she finally achieves personal happiness.
