Season 3
The Depression held an icy grip on New Bedford through the winter of 1933. Grace tries to find love with Del but that proves to be difficult. Hub gets his first dose of "The Fever" and Fat finds out about the "birds and the bees" in the process. Honey and Max build their new life together while Bob and Toppy's marriage is crumbling.
Many other townsfolk have fallen on "Hard Times" in the wake of the Silver Dome Mine closure but matriarch May Bailey refuses to go down without a fight. In spite of much resentment and blame directed at the Bailey's, May manages to restructure her finances and re-open her beloved mine. Now that the citizens of New Bedford are back to work, spirits are lifted and although times are difficult, life carries on.
The Bailey's face these situations and many more with love, laughter and perseverance, making
Wind at My Back: Volume Three an emotional roller coaster that simply can't be missed.

Season 4
Toppy is coping with an empty nest and must rely on her wits to forge a productive lif e for herself. The boys, Hub and Fat, are entering a competitive stage and their relationship is threatening to become strained. It doesn't help that their mother, Honey, has been away at a sanatorium. When she returns, she still needs the support of her loving husband Max and family. Grace has all but given up on love until one Jim Flett makes an impression. And, presiding over everything is May Bailey— who might actually be trying to be empathetic.
Despite the light-hearted nature of this season's stories, the effects of The Depression are still being felt in New Bedford. As they rally together to face adversity, the Baileys find out, once again, that; "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger."

Season 5
As the toughest of times continues, the Bailey family of New Bedford must come to terms with the "growing pains" that are affecting its members. Grace Bailey, though still living at home, has become a self-sufficient, alluring woman who is more than capable of juggling romance and career—while blindfolded! She's also more than capable of standing up to her overbearing mother: May Bailey. But, there will soon come a time when the older woman is forced to expose her vulnerable side.
The two boys, Hub and Fat, are growing up quickly and life in New Bedford provides them with challenging, new responsibilities and relationships. Meanwhile their parents: Honey and Max are finding satisfaction in devoting themselves to pursuits outside the home; Honey resumes her business and Max is thrust into public service.
The Dirty Thirties are winding down; the town is on its way back to prosperity, but it is the pre-eminent Baileys who must bridge familial gaps or be forever torn apart.
