Publisher's Synopsis
It's 1942 and Annie Walker is the landlady of the Rovers Return on Coronation Street. With her husband Jack away fighting for King and Country, Annie must juggle lone motherhood with keeping the regulars happy. Gracie Ashton works behind the bar at the Rovers and scoffs at the daft girls talking to the American soldiers, until she finds herself thrown together with the handsome GI, Chuck Dawson. With rationing, air raids and blackouts, the women of Coronation Street are determined to count their blessings. But when an unwelcome face from the past turns up at the Rovers it looks like Annie will have more to worry about than Hitler's bombs.
