The first book in a heartwarming saga series set during the Second World War, "Lumberjills" is perfect for fans of Pam Howes and Elaine Everest.
In 1942, nineteen-year-old Trixie Smith finds her life unfulfilling, working in a greengrocer and playing the piano in a pub a couple of nights a week. She sees a poster advertising the Women's Timber Corps and decides to sign up, hoping to contribute to Britain's war effort.
On her journey north, Trixie meets Cy, an American soldier on leave. Their attraction is instant, and they both believe that fate has brought them together. Despite their brief time together, they make a promise to stay together once the war is over.
Training to become a Lumberjill is challenging, as it involves working in all weathers, felling trees, and hauling timber. Trixie quickly makes friends with three of her fellow Lumberjills, each with their own unique reasons for joining the corps and traveling far from home. However, running away from their problems does not make them disappear.
Through their experiences, Trixie and her friends learn valuable lessons about resilience, teamwork, and the importance of staying true to oneself. They face hardships and challenges, but their bond and determination help them overcome them.

It is a testament to the strength and resilience of women during wartime and their unwavering commitment to making a difference. Whether you are a fan of historical fiction or simply looking for a heartwarming and uplifting story, "Lumberjills" is a must-read.
