About this listen

In early 20th-century Belfast, working class Meg Preston struggles to accept her own sexuality and yearns for forbidden love.

Battling the customs and hardships of their time, Meg pursues a relationship with her childhood friend Lillian Watson. But soon, tribulations of war, violence, and emigration threaten to tear everything apart.

Seeking refuge for herself, her love, and her family, can Meg find the courage to become the heroine of her own life?
