Yorkshire, 1956. When Helen Mercer takes on the role of head teacherat Brightbrook Junior School, she is met with peeling paint, brokenpromises from the local authority, and a building that resembles aVictorian workhouse.

Among them are Terry, a boy scarred by a brutal home life who findspeace in his love for pigeons; Rupert, a gifted but arrogantten-year-old masking a desperate need for affection; and Lucy, a brightgirl struggling with a baffling case of elective mutism.
As Helen and her staff battle daily challenges at work, her personallife takes a hopeful turn through her unexpected romance with the headteacher of a neighbouring school. However, Helen?s hard-won peace issoon tested by the reappearance of a ghost from her past and adevastating bombshell from the Director of Education that Brightbrook isslated for permanent closure...
