Description
by Jane Lark (Author)
Discover a brand-new, unforgettable wartime saga filled with courage, camaraderie and hope. Perfect for fans of Nancy Revell and Daisy Styles
1940 - As the Nazi invaders race across Europe, the women of the Great Western Railway works pull together like never before.
Catherine wrestles with self-pity after a machine-shop accident. With her fianc' and brothers on the front lines in France, she must find a new way to fight on the home front.
At her side are her steadfast GWR friends, among them Maggie, facing the loss of her father and family home, and Lily, desperate for news of her childhood sweetheart. All are determined to keep morale high and do their bit to win the war.
Amid blackout nights and rationed days, as the war creeps closer to home, these resilient women forge deeper bonds of sisterhood, confronting heartache and embracing joy. Standing up and volunteering to do even more, when hundreds of thousands of exhausted and wounded troops are rescued from Dunkirk and arrive in Dover. Britain's ships and small boats saved them, now the trains must move them to safety and the women need to help to keep them alive...
An inspiring story of friendship, courage and women's strength on the home front.
