Can the Highland girls prove everyone wrong? Don' t miss this poignant and heartwarming WW2 novel for fans of Rosie Clarke, Dilly Court and Rosie Archer, from the author of A Wartime Secret. Scotland, 1942. The Lumberjills, the newest recruits in the Women' s Timber Corps, arrive in the Scottish Highlands to a hostile reception from doubtful locals. The young women are determined to prove them wrong and serve their country - but they' re also all looking for something more. . . Lady Persephone signed up to show everyone she' s more than just a pretty face - but it' ll take more than some charm and her noble credentials to win handsome Sergeant Fraser over. Tall, strong Grace has led a lonely life working on a croft, with just her mother for company. All she wants is to find her place in the world - even if that' s a thousand miles from home. And Irene misses her husband terribly, so until he returns home from the frontline, she' s distracting herself with war work. But one distraction too far leads to devastating consequences. . . Can the Lumberjills get through their struggles together - even when tragedy strikes? Readers LOVE The Highland Girls at War! ' I adored it!!. . .
