The Flour Mill Girls is the first book in an uplifting and emotional new saga series of family, friendship, love and war set in the heart of WWI Kent. For fans of The Jam Factory Girls and The Woolworths Girls.

Crumford, Kent, 1914

There are rumours of war besetting the country but sisters Daisy, Violet and Holly Graham have other things on their minds. With the family smock mill keeping them busy and the local brewer boys turning their heads, the girls are looking forward to a summer of fun.

But their plans soon come crashing to the ground as war is declared. As their brothers, Asa and Clem, and the three Brewer lads Ren, Alder and Rosen, all volunteer to do their part for the war effort and are shipped off, the women are left with the problem of how to keep the business running. With the men away at war, and life increasingly hard, will the Graham girls find the answers they're looking for? And when long-held secrets are revealed could their lives change forever . . .
