From the ordinary to the extraordinary. We hear the inspiring stories of women who have taken on the challenges that life has thrown at them. After her divorce at a time of life many would be putting their feet up, Rona became a round the world yachtswoman; Jo and Della are bereaved parents turned campaigners; Fran overcame a paralysing accident at work to become World Paraclimbing Champion; Wendy and Kelly are ex-offenders turned mentors and Judy abandoned urban life to run a hill farm, hotel and whale watching company on a remote Scottish island.
