Publisher's Synopsis
Preorder the next instalment in Jane Lark's captivating Great Western Railway Girls series, perfect for fans of Nancy Revell and Daisy Styles.
1940 - As war echoes across Europe, the women of the Great Western Railway works in Swindon stand strong.
Among them is Catherine, whose life was turned upside down by a machine-shop accident that took her hand - and nearly her spirit. With her fiancé and brothers on the front lines, Catherine wrestles with grief and guilt, until a selfless act of craftsmanship gives her back mobility and purpose.
At her side are her steadfast GWR friends: Maggie, facing the loss of her family home and learning to love again; Naomi, navigating romance and loyalty in a time that forbids married women to work; and Lily, thrown into motherhood and family struggles amid blackout nights and rationed days.
As bombs fall and fear creeps closer to home, these resilient women forge deeper bonds of sisterhood, confronting heartache and embracing joy - together.
An inspiring story of friendship, courage and women's strength on the home front.
