Bristol - 1945 The war has ended; the men are returning home to
their loved ones, but for some things have changed. Charlotte
Hennessey-White's husband, David is no longer the gentle loving man
he once was and Charlotte, so independent during the war, is
devastated. Edna Burbage's strong fiancee, Colin has suffered
appalling physical injuries. He won't hold her to her promise of
marriage, but she insists her feelings are unchanged. But is that
true? Is she marrying him out of love or pity? And Polly Chandler's
sweetheart, Gavin who'd she'd planned her whole future around,
hasn't come home at all. War and suffering have changed their men
leaving the women to cope on their own. But they too are changed.
They harbour secrets best kept that could do untold damage to these

Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a

were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic
historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J
Miller
