Publisher's Synopsis
Winter, 1939. Nancy is desperately trying to keep up her children's spirits - and her own - as they face their first Christmas without Bert. Young Patty should be excited to be spending the festive season with her sweetheart Archie - but why does she worry he's keeping something from her? Betty is missing her beloved William as he continues his RAF training, but she's determined not to sit around wallowing. In the midst of the coldest winter on record, and with the introduction of rationing, times are tougher than ever - but Betty has an idea to make sure nobody goes without... The Steel Girls are determined to rally round and keep hope alive this Christmas.
