Summary

Saddler Street is like many of the other little backstreets of Bermondsey, with its row of two-up, two-down terraced houses. Number 5 is home to the Johnson family, but the atmosphere inside the four walls is not always as happy as the neighbours may think. Lana Johnson is getting serious with local small-time villain Ben Ferris, and everyone except Lana is sure that the match will end in tears. Next door lives Lottie Curtis, a kind-hearted widow they have taken under their wing. For decades Lottie has been foster mother to children from broken homes. Only Jimmy Bailey has ever demonstrated in a practical way the debt he owed to her - until the war intervened and he was called up. But it's 1946 and Lottie is facing her 80th birthday alone. When Jimmy, now demobbed, teams up with Lana to organise a reunion of the old lady's children as a birthday treat, there's more than one surprise in store.
