I purchased this DVD set of Wind at my Back after viewing it over a period of months while in bed with an illness. The characters and story are excellent and reminiscent of the times in Canada prior to World War 11. The story incorporates a wealthy family who owns the main source of income for laborers in the town to the poorest of the poor. One common denominator for both classes of people is sickness, loss and suffering. There is also much humor through the kids and sometimes the adults. What I loved most is that the story is about a community of people living out their lives - a way of life seldom seen today with our big cities, corporations and fast pace. The family endures, accepts and forgives. Great story! I also enjoyed the clothing of the era and décor.
Wind At My Back is the Canadian version of The Walton's. Taking place in the 1930s, the people of Ontario had their difficult times with the economy and making their livings. Through thick and thin, they somehow make it through another tough challenge. For a traditionalist TV series, this DVD series is strongly recommended for anyone at any age.

I will always love this show. If you olan to watch even one episode,you will want to see them all. Its the kind of story telling where you have to pay attention or stuff in later seasons may not make as much sense. Stsrt at season 1 and watch them in order. Fhe movie is worth having snd watching at least once.

I bought Wind at my back fifth season, because I had already bought the first 4 seasons. This is a great story of heartache , love, friendship and life living in poverty. The created of Wind at my back, are also the people behind Anneof green gables. Another of ny favourite series. So if you enjoyed Anne of green gables, thenI highly recommend Wind at my back. You will laugh cry love and loathe each and every character . It's a shame it has been taken off air. But definately worth a watch.
Hard-hitting show of hard times in America! Great price!!
