While 12-year-old Helen’s inept parents searched unsuccessfully to find work, she was taken out of school to look after her six younger siblings and the full burden of keeping house fell on Helen’s young shoulders. It came as a terrible shock to find the thriving, wealthy port Helen’s father remembered as a boy, the place his own father made his fortune, had long since gone. With nothing more than the clothes they stood up in, the family of nine took the train to Liverpool where they hoped to rebuild their shattered lives. In 1931, Helen's spendthrift father was declared bankrupt forcing the family to leave behind the nannies, servants and beautiful middle-class home in the gentler South West of England.
A period drama set in the early 1930s in the midst of the Great Depression.
