The heartwarming new winter saga of friendship and resilience from the author of The Bomb Girls
Autumn, 1942
As winter approaches, for the women at the Bell Works Factory it's business as usual.
When German refugee Ella arrives, she is met with distrust, but can she show her loyalty by getting stuck in on the factory floor?
Librarian Catherine faces heartache over her fiance's continued absence with no news from the front - but with others in the same boat, extending the hand of friendship may be a chance to prove herself.
While local girl Nellie can't help but question whether the factory really is the best place for her to help the war effort after tragically losing her sweetheart.
Winter is never harder than in wartime, but as the factory girls face the darkest months without their loved ones, can they pull together to keep the wheels turning?
