Hope comes to Eastby End

Sam Newby loves the rolling hills and lush green grass of Ollindale, the village he has grown up in. Home is where his heart is: but when his father dies, and his cruel stepmother becomes his guardian, he begins to dream of a different life. He flees, but vows to return once he is of age - and has the means to stop those who would destroy his community. Laura Barker thinks about the last words Sam said to her more than she would care to admit: Follow your dreams. It is her greatest hope to become a district nurse, so she can help not only Ollindale, but the neighbouring, poverty-stricken town of Eastby End. But the only way she can serve her community is to leave, to train as a nurse down south, and follow her dreams, then her heart, back home. A chance encounter between Sam and Laura fills them with hope that they will one day make it back to their village together.
