Ann is a reluctant Vicar's wife. She loves her family and tries hard to do her duty, but is beginning to wonder how she ended up here. Her husband is too preoccupied with the needs of his congregation to notice those closer to home and her son is asking questions she is struggling to answer. When her brother makes a cry for help, Ann travels from Cornwall to be with him in London. And then she meets Jamie, and a new world unexpectedly opens up. Ann knows what the older women of the parish would say - she's made her bed and now she has to lie in it. But temptation is easier to avoid than it is to resist.
