A wartime saga set in Manchester, following the lives and loves of workers in Rosenberg's raincoat factory.

In wartime it takes courage to follow your heart. Manchester, 1939. Everyone hated the heat and the deafening noise, but for Gracie the worst thing was the smell of chemicals that turned her stomach every morning when she arrived at the Rosenberg Raincoats factory. Gracie is a girl on the factory floor. Jacob is the boss's charismatic nephew. When they fall in love , it seems as if the whole world is against them – especially Charlie Nuttall, who also works at the factory and has always wanted Gracie for himself. But worse is to come when Jacob disappears and Gracie is devastated, vowing to find him.

Can she solve the mystery of his whereabouts? Gracie will need all her strength and courage to find a happy ending.
