Billy London is a mean dark secretive man who is interested only in lining his pockets at the expense of those around him - most especially his wife and daughters. When Ellen his wife who has put up with him for years finds her children threatened she prepares to fight like a tigress to protect the four girls to give them a chance of a new and better life and a chance to escape from the evil and oppressive legacy of their father. There is Abigail clever ambitious and with an outer shell of steel that is necessary if she is to survive; Tishy overwhelmingly lovely who lives in a world all her own; Marie brisk capable and nearly strong enough to defy her father on her own; Theresa more wounded more vulnerable more damaged by Billy than any of them. As the sirens of 1939 herald the advent of war so Billy London's girls begin their own battle for new triumphant and fulfilling lives.
