Set in 2016, Joy, a 70-year-old grandmother, is plunged into crisis when the state declares it has no record of her existence. As the Hostile Environment tightens its grip, her daughter Glory seeks help from Serena Hope, a lawyer whose return reopens old tensions. At the same time, Joy鈥檚 half sister Jean uncovers buried evidence that could decide Joy鈥檚 fate.

Faith, Hope and Glory is an ambitious Radio 4 drama series telling intimate domestic stories that together illuminate the emergence of modern Britain. The story began in 1946, when Hope and Jim鈥檚 baby was entrusted to Eunice, later known as Faith, to take home to Antigua, but never made that journey and was taken in by Gloria and Clement. Named Joy, the child becomes the emotional centre of the series, her life unfolding across decades as personal lives intersect with social change.
