Sometimes the wind pushes us along paths we don’t expect to take, yet Nature appears to
understand human frailty. As brave as a dandelion in the wind, Margaret survives many storms
but still manages to stand upright.
Newly widowed, Brigid Ryan imparts the love of her Irish Catholic faith to her eldest
granddaughter, Margaret. When Margaret’s parents separate, it’s the only solace the child
possesses.
Migration to Australia, and her mother’s life with David Wilson, brings a different existence, but
Margaret’s eventual marriage to Matthew Parkes reveals her instability, especially following the
tragic birth of their first child.
Against a backdrop of masked infidelities, when her natural father dies Margaret’s deteriorating
mental state takes her into a suicidal depression. With medical assistance, Margaret has to find
her Faith again and unearth her true self as she learns to be independent for the first time in her
life.
