On Behalf of the People

1945 – a time of victory, hope and rebuilding. Tom returns from the war to the arms of his grateful mother and fiancee – and to the bosom of the pit. George fights his own battles and an election to secure a better future for his union men and their families. Connie mourns, loves and unites; Lizzie sees a new world, brim-full of opportunity. In a new Britain will their hopes and dreams be reconciled? On Behalf of The People is a rich, engaging story, of a post-war mining family coming to terms with life and love in their rapidly changing world.
