In 1923, Jess Mason is a determined woman who is eager to make her own way in the world. She is appointed as the manager of Holly Lodge, a new home for old soldiers. Her task is to convince the owner that she can run the home as efficiently as any man, if not better.
To everyone around him, Tom Watson appears to be a cheerful and sociable man. However, he has secretly vowed to go through life alone. When he takes on the renovation of Holly Lodge and meets Jess, the walls he has built around himself start to crumble.
As the opening of the new soldiers' home proves to be less than straightforward, Jess must fight tooth and nail to hold on to her precious new role. She is determined to prove herself capable and make a success of the home.
Meanwhile, Jess's affections for Tom grow stronger with each passing day. She finds herself drawn to him, and she can't help but wonder if there is room in her life for both love and the career she has always dreamed of.
As the renovation of Holly Lodge progresses, Jess and Tom face numerous challenges. They must navigate the complex politics of the military and deal with the disapproval of some of the soldiers' families. However, they also come to rely on each other, and their relationship deepens.
In the end, Jess is able to successfully open Holly Lodge, and it becomes a beloved home for old soldiers. Tom and Jess's love story continues to blossom, and they find happiness together.
Jess Mason's journey in 1923 is a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the ability to overcome obstacles. She proves that women can be just as capable as men in any profession, and she shows that love can find its way even in the most unexpected places.
