Publisher's Synopsis
The Norfolk fens have never seen anything quite like the girls from United States Airforce base at Drampton. While their men patrol the skies keeping the Soviets at bay, some are content to live the life of the Future Homemakers of America - clipping coupons, cooking chicken pot pie - but others start to stray, looking for a little native excitement beyond the perimeter fence. Out there in the freezing fens they meet Kath Pharaoh, a tough but warm Englishwoman. Bonds are forged, uniting the women in friendships that will survive distant postings, and the passage of forty years. Filled with warmth, wit and wisdom, THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA takes us to the heart of female friendship.
