Meanwhile, Eastwood Minster hums with its own dramas. Liz James and Alice Nichols hope the town will curb its gossiping, although they know better. Former students Tracey and Jack are navigating heartbreak and uncertain futures, while Will Taylor’s world is unexpectedly set alight. Amid it all, young Tilly dreams of football glory, determined to one day play for England. Another story of hope over adversity – with happy endings!
