She takes on a new job as a district nurse and midwife at a country practice in the remote Lancashire village of Ingleside. But instead of the friendly rural idyll she pictures Lara finds she must cycle vast distances to visit locals who harbour an innate suspicion of a newcomer from the city - as well as dealing with unpredictable livestock an erratic senior doctor and often challenging medical cases. She also rubs up against handsome local vet Leo when she helps to deliver a calf! With time Lara learns that healing is a two-way street: just as she helps her patients recover from illness and injury her new life in Ingleside starts to heal her own wounds. But will this tight-knit farming community ever truly take this city girl to its heart?
