But when a glamorous new owner arrives at Woman's Friend, Emmy soon realizes that the Honourable Mrs Porter could destroy everything.

And then tragedy strikes. As Emmy's own happiness turns to devastation, she must ask herself if she can find the strength to keep going. Can she save the magazine so many people love? And can she weather her own heartbreak?
