Where will love lead Alice?

1644- Alice Newcombe, trapped and unhappy on her uncle's farm, finds her life transformed when royalist soldiers are billeted there during the Civil War. Suddenly her days are filled with excitement- and love for one young soldier, Robin. When the regiment moves on, Alice persuades Robin to take her with him and she joins the other army women on the baggage train. The road ahead is long and hard- will there be happiness at its end.
