When Yorkshire mill girl Una joins the cause she wonders how she’ll adapt to country life. Luckily she’s quickly befriended by more experienced Land Gisl Brenda and Grace. But as Christmas draws ever near, the girls’ resolve is tested as scandals and secrets are revealed, lovers risk being torn apart, and even patriotic loyalties are called into questions. With only a week to go until the festivities, can the strain of wartime still allow for the magic of Christmas.

There’s a wedding to be planned and prepared for, but wedded bliss is far from guaranteed. With lovers parted, anxious women have no idea whether they’ll see their men again.

But after months of working on farms in the Yorkshire Dales, they’re looking for a fresh challenge. However, moving to billets high up in the remote fells means fewer creature comforts - and new hardships. Brenda and Joyce are about to discover that they will need more than a stiff upper lip to get through the winter months… and the drama they simply can’t escape. Despite the bitter cold, their fear for those far away fighting and concern for family and friends, there is warmth to be found in faces old and new, and plans for a jolly Christmas are a foot. But when a child evacuee goes missing in the snow and tragedy strikes close to home, can their dearest wish-that all their loved one stay safe this Christmas -possibly come true?

Back Story
Jenny Holmes has been writing fiction since her early twenties, having had a series of children’s books adapted for both the BBC and ITV. Jenny was born and brought up in Yorkshire. After living in the Midlands and travelling widely in America, she returned to Yorkshire, and brought up her two daughters with a spectacular view of the moors and a sense of belonging to the special, still undiscovered corners of the Yorkshire Dales. One of there children brought up in Harrogate, Jenny’s links with Yorkshire stretch back through many generations, via a mother who served in the Land army during the Second world War and pharmacist and shop-worker aunts, to a maternal grandfather who worked as a village blacksmith and pub landlord. All told stories of life lived with little material wealth but with great spirit and independence where a sense of community and family loyalty were fierce – sometimes uncomfortable but never to be ignored.
