Evicted by mine owner, Hamish McClure. Peggy's mother dies giving birth to her in a barn on a bitter winter night in 1880, leaving her father to rear her the best he can... Hamish McClure is furious when his own wife has a baby girl, Elspeth - and not the son and heir he was hoping for. Worse still, she is disfigured by a port-wine stain on her face... Elspeth and Peggy grow up worlds apart, yet both decide to pursue a career in medicine. They find themselves bound by a friendship that not only transcends all barriers, but sustains them through love affairs, heartbreak and war...
