Product Description

A recently widowed mother loses her children to a cold mother-in-law in Ontario during the Great Depression. The bankrupcy of their hardware store forces Jack and Honey Bailey to move their young family to New Bedford, a small town where Jack's affluent family owns a silver mine. When Jack is killed in an accident soon after their arrival, his mother informs Honey that she is no longer welcome in the Bailey home. Knowing that she cannot support her three children on her own, Honey is forced to leave them with her mother-in-law while she looks for work in a nearby town. Set in Ontario in the 1930s, "Wind at My Back" follows Honey, her children and the Bailey family through the era known as the Great Depression.

Customer Reviews

On the lighter side
This was great and in some ways, better than the first season. A lot of new characters were introduced, like Maisie McGinty and her grandfather and Max's brother Del. This season was somewhat lighter than Season 1. Honey Bailey has some happiness here, marrying Max Sutton, reuniting with all of her children, and opening her own beauty shop. Mae Bailey is the one who seems to have problems here, as she comes very close to losing the mine, (the introduction of Mr. McGinty, an old friend of hers, deepens her character somewhat)and there are times when I feel sorry for her. I really like the character of Grace and hope that she is able to marry Del or some nice guy. She is constantly battling her shyness and seeking independence. She comes across as a stronger person in this season.
