Unexpected economic hardship catapults this timid, middle-aged woman into the work force. Her employer, a kindly parish priest, accompanies her on the roller-coaster journey and provides support to confront past demons and face the future, whatever that will be. Her admirable, steely determination and grit are inspiring given the constraints of the day, and the place of women in the white, male dominated society of sixty or more years ago. Her feckless husband can hardly recognise the woman he married. The question is... can he withstand the heat in her kitchen?
