Our Mary Ann is set in 1905 when life is hard for Mary Ann, an illegitimate child. Her situation rapidly worsens when her new stepfather starts to interfere with her. Sent away at fifteen to give birth to his child, she encounters Gabriel Clough, who aids her escape to Blackpool after the child's birth.

The Great War presents Mary Ann with numerous new opportunities and also brings Gabriel back into her life. However, circumstances prevent them from being together. It is not until her mother passes away that Mary Ann returns to Lancashire, determined to uncover the secrets of her past.

As she delves into her history, danger looms for both her and the child she believed she had lost forever. Will history repeat itself, or will Mary Ann's courage secure her the happiness she deserves?
