As winter approaches, for the women at the Bell Works Factory it’s business as usual.
When German refugee Ella arrives, she is met with distrust. Can she show her loyalty by getting stuck in on the factory floor?
Librarian Catherine faces heartache over her fiancé’s continued absence, with no news from the Far East. But with others in the same boat, extending the hand of friendship may be a chance to prove herself.
While local girl Nellie can’t help but question whether the factory really is the best place for her after tragically losing her sweetheart.
