'Absolutely loved this book from start to finish, I couldn't put it
down' Reader Review While the men are off fighting, the women keep
the country moving... July 1914: Britain is in turmoil as WW1
begins to change the world. While the young men disappear off to
foreign battlefields, the women left at home throw themselves into
jobs meant for the boys. Hiding her privileged background and her
suffragette past, Constance Copeland signs up to be a Clippie -
collecting money and giving out tickets - on the trams in
Staffordshire, despite her parents' disapproval. Constance, now
known as Connie, soon finds there is more to life than the wealth
she was born into and she soon makes fast friends with lively
fellow Clippies, Betty and Jean, as well as growing closer to the
charming, gentle Inspector Robert Caldwell. But Connie is haunted
by another secret; and if it comes out, it could destroy her new
life. After war ends and the men return to take back their roles,
will Connie find that she can return to her previous existence? Or
has she been changed forever by seeing a new world through the tram
windows? A captivating, lively, romantic saga set in WW1 that will
engross fans of Johanna Bell and Jenny Holmes. Readers are loving
