| When Iris Chisholm arrives in the tiny Highland community
of Green Cairns, she's still in a state of shock – not
so much from her husband's untimely death as from the discovery
that he'd gambled away all their money and even their home.
In addressing the problems of the children at the school
where she becomes the only teacher, Iris finds distraction
from her worries. Further distractions come in the shape
of golden-tongued lawyer Michael and the gentle handyman,
Chas. The locals are deliciously outraged at the scandal
of a school marm who seems to have a sex life, while so
embroiled is Iris that she does not notice what is happening
to her own near-adult children – who need her just
as much as the waifs of Green Cairns...
