Hope And A Future

1656 and they thought the plague had finished. There had been no deaths in London, Derby or Eyam over the winter. But then material is brought into the village of Lansett in the way it had the previous year in Eyam and everyone is terrified, particularly when a little boy contracts the disease.
Diana has an obsession with history and knows a lot about the history of the plague. She does not know what causes it or how it is transmitted from person to person but she does know that the appallingly dirty conditions in London appeared to help spread the disease. Adam, a young man who is out of the village when the plague hits it, comes back in despite the dangers. He and Diana begin to nurse people with the plague which brings results Diana never expected as she discovers the real reason for Adam staying and as both of them find out how to become children of God through the reading of a Bible which has been given to Diana.
