Book Synopsis

Will her love cost her friendship?

After the death of her mother, whom she had spent her life caring for, Ruth Latham is lucky to find work as a typist at the Potteries Tramway Company in Stoke.

While conscription forces more men to leave for the battlefields, Ruth finds herself growing closer to shy, but kind, mechanic, Stan Bristow even if their courtship makes her enemies in the office.

But the Great War causes scars at home and abroad and when trouble comes to The Potteries, tearing families apart and causing heartache for her greatest friends, Ruth must play her part in the difficult times ahead.

And when Stan is called up to fight, Ruth fears her chance at happiness may never arrive. Is she strong enough for the battle ahead?

A captivating and romantic saga, set in World War One, that fans of Rosie Goodwin and Rita Bradshaw will love.
