Being a railway girl isn't always easy, but together, they can overcome every challenge that stands in their way. In Manchester, 1942, a new year brings new hope for the railway girls. Alison's romance with the charming Dr. Maitland is blossoming, but then she is posted away from Manchester. Working in a canteen isn't part of her plan, nor is meeting her beau's old girlfriend - one who just happens to want him back. Margaret is supportive of her friend's new relationship until she realizes exactly who he is. Torn between keeping her secret and warning Alison, she turns to Joan for help. Working in Lost Property wouldn't be Joan's first choice of job, but with a baby on the way, she knows she can't continue being a station porter. As she looks to the future, can she put the troubles of her past behind her? The characters are fresh and stand out from the page, there is tension, pathos, and heartbreak, but more than that, there is joy.

I simply cannot wait for the next one - I am hooked! Gives a vivid picture of women's lives in wartime Manchester. Dramatic, intriguing, and sprinkled with plenty of wit and heart. It's just like catching up with old friends.
