Publisher's Synopsis
1950. The Second World War is over and life has moved on for the Woolworths girls, Sarah, Maisie and Freda. In a new world, these women have high expectations of their daughters, wanting them to seize opportunities they didn't have themselves. Ready to take on Saturday jobs at Woolworths, budding friends Bessie, Claudette, Clementine and Dorothy are faced with unforeseeable challenges as the real world comes into focus. Their bond can only be strengthened as they overcome the darkest of times. When Bessie finds love in the wrong crowd and falls pregnant, the image of her future and ambitions become skewed, and she relies on the Saturday girls to help her see her problems through - but can they find a home for the baby when it arrives? It is up to the Woolworths girls, new and old, to save the day - and their futures.
