Archie Mc Burnie enlists in the army in 1939, his wife Jane and children move from their idyllic cottage on the Cairnmuir estate in the soft rolling countryside of south west Scotland where they lived for ten years, to some shabby rooms in the town of Durrisbridge.

Just when Jane thought things couldn't get worse, her youngest daughter contracted Tuberculosis and she found she was pregnant. Tuberculosis has such a stigma
