Changing Times at Calico House

Manchester, 1920. As a mannequin in an exclusive fashion salon, Kate
Hunter lives for the moments she can step into a beautiful gown and
leave her worries behind.

But when Kate is cheated out of her home and then suffers a terrible
accident, she suddenly loses everything: her job, her independence and
her future.

Miss Hawes, the well-to-do owner of Calico House, provides her with a
chance beyond her wildest dreams. Could Kate use her eye for fashion to
secure her future?

Meanwhile, ambitious young furniture dealer Finn Mercer is determined to
expand his business - he and Kate could be a wonderful partnership.
Maybe even more than that...

However, Miss Hawes's aggrieved godson will not just stand by and let
them triumph.

Can Kate, along with friends old and new, fight for the happiness - and
love - she dreams of?
