Synopsis

When Betty and her best friend Sally discover a baby tucked in a blanket amongst the rubble at the Manchester Salvage Depot, they can barely believe their eyes. As Betty holds the baby in her arms, she feels a familiar longing stir in her chest. Might she and her husband be allowed to care for this abandoned child, and create the family they have always longed for? Sally is shocked when she realizes she too has news: she's pregnant and the two friends begin planning for the new arrival. But with her husband Andrew serving overseas, and Sally's health a cause for concern, she must do everything she can to care for the precious life inside her. When the grandparents of the abandoned baby are found, Betty's heart breaks. She has grown to love this child as if she was her own, and she'll do whatever it takes to provide a safe home for this baby. Then Sally's health takes a dramatic turn for the worst, and an anxious night is spent waiting for news as the residents of Star House rally to support one another.
