March 1911: Betty Dean needs a job and somewhere to live, and
eventually, a husband - according to her mother. Sent into service
at Stowford House in Cheshire, where the days are long and the work
is gruelling, Betty's dreams of making something of herself seem
even further away. But soon she is forced to return to The
Potteries, carrying with her a dreadful secret which could leave
her reputation in tatters. Could WW1 bring new opportunities or
will Betty run out of options? A new job on the trams throws her a
lifeline. Meeting fellow tram girls Connie and Jean brings the joy
of friendship, even if Betty struggles with having to keep secrets
from her new pals. When Duncan Kennedy, a shy but charming soldier,
enters Betty's life, it seems that she may finally find love. But
opening herself up isn't easy, and when he leaves for the front,
she finds herself alone once again. As the Great War rumbles on,
Betty's life in The Potteries is full of its own battles... A
heart-breaking WW1 saga that fans of Pam Howes and Nancy Revell
will love. Readers are loving The Potteries Girls on the Home Front
