Victory Sisters

It's 1939 and the threat of war hangs over Britain... The most ambitious of three sisters, Lorraine 'Raine' Linfoot always dreamed of becoming a pilot. As a spirited seventeen-year-old, she persuades her hero Doug Williams to teach her to fly. When war breaks out in 1939, Raine is determined to put her skills to good use. She enlists in the Air Transport Auxiliary, becoming one of a handful of brave female pilots flying fighter planes to the men on the front line. Raine embraces the challenges of the job, despite its perils. But when Doug is reported missing after his Spitfire is shot down, she realises the war could tear apart not only her country, but also her heart... A gripping story of family, friendship and courage, perfect for fans of Donna Douglas, Nancy Revell and Call the Midwife.

Britain, 1943. Though she's the youngest of her siblings, Ronnie Linfoot is determined to do her bit for the war effort, just as her two older sisters are. Against her mother's wishes, she signs up to join the Grand Union Canal Company, where she'll be working on a narrowboat taking critical supplies from London to Birmingham and back again. But without an ounce of experience on the waterways, she must learn the ropes quickly, and the job doesn't come without its challenges: dreadful weather, long days, and rough living conditions. In the toughest times, will Ronnie and her fellow trainees be able to pull together? For even in the darkest days of war, camaraderie and friendship can see you through.
