HAS SHE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT FOR THE LIFE SHE'S ALWAYS YEARNED FOR?

Phyllis Bird is twenty - five, a teacher, and still living with her parents in a quiet Hampshire village. With so many young men lost in the Great War, her future is without hope until she is offered the position of nursery maid in the London home of acclaimed playwright Harold Berridge. Desperate to break out of her mundane existence, she decides to take it up.

Befriended by the actress Maud Ling and thrown into the glamorous world of the cinema, Phyllis falls passionately in love with Maud's younger brother Teddy. But Teddy's heart lies elsewhere.
