What to expect

A brand new historical saga series full of friendship and laughter from bestselling author Tracy Baines

War looms on the horizon...

Cleethorpes, 1939

With the country teetering on the brink of war everyone faces an uncertain future.

Destitute after the tragic death of her father, aspiring singer Jessie Delaney and her family have no choice other than to accept the charity spiteful Aunt Iris to keep a roof over their heads.

Jessie is soon dreaming of a life filled music and excitement. How can Jessie escape the drudgery, support her family and pursue her dreams?

Through her father’s connections Jessie finds work as a Variety Girl in a small seaside theatre in Cleethorpes. But taking the job means flying solo and leaving her family and her sweetheart, Harry behind.

Friendships are forged but will the glamour of show business lose its shine without those she loves close by?

A gritty and heart-warming saga perfect for readers of Elaine Everest, Nancy Revell and Pam Howes.
