New Every Morning — Ann Purser

In the tranquil village of Round Ringford, trouble is brewing. From the Post Office Stores, Peggy Palmer sees upheaval in her own life as her new marriage is threatened. Fighting jealousy and suspicion, she battles with herself as well as her husband's ex-wife.

Then a new turmoil threatens the entire village when attractive young Sarah Drinkwater is employed in the village school. Her new, modern ideas are not met with much approval amongst the traditionalists, but when the school is threatened with closure, her battle to save it wins her more supporters than she expected. But still against the newcomer is evil-tongued Ivy Beasley, whose dreams and schemes have a powerful effect on the entire village.
