Shelley loves all her kids with a fierce passion. But Joey, her eldest, has always been a problem. But surely he wasn't one of the youths who set light to a pram with a small baby in it? When the police arrive and take him away to be questioned, she has to endure the primitive hostility of a neighbourhood outraged by the death of an innocent little child.

Shelley has to take her other children to a place of safety, and the authorities put her in touch with the Boltons, a kindly farming couple who take in problem families and work miracles on them. On their remote Dartmoor farm Shelley and her kids find a refuge - fresh air, wholesome food, and a discipline they have never known before. The children were calmer, happier. But many families have come to the Boltons' farm, and not all of them have left it...
