Under the Storm

During the mid-seventeenth-century civil war, rural life is swept into turmoil as soldiers, sieges, and requisitions break up quiet villages. The narrative follows the Kenton household and their neighbors as they suffer loss, fires, and forced billeting, confront roaming troopers, and care for stragglers and hidden refugees. Episodes alternate between skirmishes and domestic struggles, market scenes, and acts of charity, tracing young characters’ growth, courtship, and commitments amid scarcity. Through recurrent trials the community’s loyalties, faith, and practical resilience are tested and ultimately settled in a sequence of reckonings and personal fulfilments.
