Ida is used to Alan chancing his luck and dreaming his life away, but had not expected Norman, usually so responsible and reliable, to give up his steady job at the post office for the sake of Alan's latest scheme to make them all rich.And then there is poor Ruby, vulnerable to Brian Brookshaw and her father-in-law's violent outburst and her own rebellious spirit. What kind of a future can Ruby give her little boys if she can't find a good man or hold down a decent job?
