I have just started watching this series on the INSP Network, which I get through DISH Network. I actually started watching it because it followed "the Waltons" a series I have always enjoyed. Except for the era (1930's Depression" The two series would seem to have little in common. Wind At My Back is the story of the Bailey family, Honey and her husband had moved back to New Bedford, Ontario to open a hardware store and to be near Mrs. Bailey, the matriarch of the family. When Mr. Bailey dies, Honey's world is thrown into turmoil when Mrs. Bailey refuses to allow Honey to take Honey's two sons, Hub and Fat away from their grandmother. Honey takes a menial job in a laundry to save money to try to make a home for the boys. Fortunately, the family comes to a truce, and Honey is able to open a beauty parlor and move her and the boys to the hotel nearby. Love also comes to Honey in the guise of Max Sutton, a teacher. They get married and have a daughter of their own, and Mrs. Bailey comes to respect Honey for her honesty and hard work ethic and they become a loving family. This series shows a family and town in their struggle with the Depression, but handles it with warmth, love and laughter. An excellent series for the whole family to enjoy.
