In 1942, three young women craving adventure join the Women's Timber Corps, all for different reasons. After the rigours of forestry training in Cornwall and a spell as acting air-raid wardens, the trio are posted to the Lake District. But their enemy is the War, and faith and friendship are tested to the utmost.
Born in Lancashire, Freda Lightfoot lived for a number of years in the Lake District where she ran a bookshop. She then tried her hand at the 'good life', kept sheep and hens, various orphaned cats and dogs, built drystone walls, planted a small wood and even learned how to make jam. She has now given up her thermals to build a house in an olive grove in Spain, where she produces her own olive oil. She has published over 30 novels including many bestselling family sagas and historical novels.
