As war rages, everyone has to do their bit...Bristol 1941 As the
clouds of war grow bleaker both at home and abroad, the Tobacco
Girls are determined to do their bit for King and Country. To that
end Maisie Miles and Bridget Milligan become voluntary ambulance
drivers. As well as coping with the frequent air raids, Maisie is
kept on her toes with three new junior employees one of whom is
particularly testing. Bridget's heart becomes torn between family
loyalty and American tobacco tycoon Lyndon O'Neill III, the man she
loves. Meanwhile Phyllis Harvey has joined the WAAF, opting to
serve overseas whilst trying to escape her past. Her letters home
are upbeat and her friends are initially envious of descriptions of
sunshine and blue sea. The truth she hides is that life on the
island of Malta is fraught with extreme food shortages, daily air
raids and the fear that tomorrow might never come. The future
appears far less certain as the reality of war bites into The
Tobacco Girls' lives. 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will
keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin, bestselling author. Praise for
Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you
hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming
tale of love and friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.'
Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory
girls, redolent with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices
that are as relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier 'If
you want an exciting, authentic historical saga then look no
further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller
After thirty years, Brigadier General Carolyn McKenzie Marshall
is retiring and leaving the US Army behind. She's proud of her
accomplishments, especially the formation and training of the first
women's jump program in the army. Though looking forward to a new
life in Hawaii, she's sad to leave her sisters behind, including
her replacement, Col. Dora Aimsley. The two have been through a lot
together.
But just three days into retirement, one of Carrie's past
exploits comes back to haunt her and her fellow sisters. Ten years
ago, the Sheikh managed to escape destruction when Dora blew up the
building in which he and his cohorts were hiding. Now, the Sheikh
has returned to exact revenge on Dora and the team who caused him
to lose money and face.
The Sheikh means business. Even so, Dora foils his hijacking
attempt on the Pope's airplane, and the Sheikh retaliates by
kidnapping Dora's twin daughters and Carrie. Dora's training kicks
in and with the help of her fellow sisters tries to save her
friend, her family, and herself.
