Overview

In the aftermath of WWI, Sophie's children have returned home to Forge Cottage hoping to resume their lives and move forward in pursuing their chosen professions of medicine, teaching, and nursing. The war has had a devastating effect on society, and unemployment is high. Charles, Florrie, and Rosa will need to work hard to finish their studies, secure employment, and generally make their way in life during a time of great change for their country. Can Charles cope with the demands as a doctor despite the emotional upheaval in his love life? How will his family feel about who he has chosen to marry? In a time when women could not have a family and a career, will Florrie give up finding love to pursue her teaching? How will she react to the surprise at the end of her first year? Will Rosa be able to choose between her dedication to nursing and the young man she cares for? Life in the quiet Devon village of Clayden is rapidly changing as motor vehicles take the place of horse drawn transport, creating new opportunities for travel but also closing doors on this family's livelihood and way of life. How will they manage to continue to make a living? Sophie's Children is the second book in a historical saga, taking place in the difficult post-war years of the early twentieth century.
