The start of a thrilling new series, from bestselling author Lizzie Lane which follows three friends through thick and thin.

But beneath their happy go lucky exteriors they all harbour dreams and worries about what the future holds.

Engaged to be married Phyllis dreams of romance and passion but when it comes there are dire consequences.

Bridget seemingly the level headed one harbours a horror of something unspeakable that she cannot easily come to terms with.

Maudie

Good story abrupt ending I think this would qualify as a prelude to the next book if there is one

Great book.

This was a wonderful and believable book about these three young women struggling with family, work, and the looming WWII at their doorstep. I was sad that the book came to an end just before the bombs fell. I would love to read a sequel.

Great story

Strong characters and good storytelling. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Good story! Entertaining and meaningful.

I enjoyed this! The narration was fabulous, and it was really a sweet story. Going to look for more by this author!
