Courage for the Clark’s factory girls, the 2nd book in the series, and what a follow up, I loved the first book but this was even better, I couldn’t put it down. We return to the village Street and the Clarks factory to catch up with Jeannie, Kate and Louisa. All 3 girls lives are turned upside down with various family matters but their friendship brings them through everything even when they think it can’t. Louisa is struggling when mattie her first love enlists to fight in ww1, Kate has got even more problems with her cruel father, and jeannie is drowning under the stress of keeping her family together. A wonderful book and I can’t wait for the 3rd book in this wonderful series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1915 C&J Clarks shoe factory.
Together they can brave the storm as we once again join Louisa Jeannie and Kate.
A lovely story of hardship and courage to be enjoyed.
I am loving this series from the author.
Inspirational chapter after chapter right through, as we see the girls in their private lives bring you sorrow and happy endings.

Another saga involving Jeannie, Louisa and Kate. Best as always to read it in order and I can’t wait for the next one as this book leaves you with so many questions. WW1 is still in full flow so adjustments need to be made as well as village problems and the involvement of Clark’s Shoe Factory. An easy 5 stars 🌟 with wonderful characters and storyline. Thanks to May and her publisher. Thanks also to NetGalley

Brilliant book. It unfolded great I love these books because it's like catching up with old friends. I totally read this in a couple of days

We return to the village of Street and to the lives of Louisa, Jeannie and Kate who all work in the machine room at Clark’s shoe factory.
Louisa doesn’t have her troubles to seek this time which isn’t helped when her parents turn against her by sending her to her aunts to live. They don’t reckon on Louisa having plans of her own!
Meanwhile Kate has issues of her own with her father Reg, who previously only thought of food and cider has developed a liking for women, especially Beryl.
Jeannie is worried about her mother who appears to be weakening by the day, not helped when Lucas decides to join up which as a Quaker he doesn’t have to do!

I loved the way the story unravelled, even when you’ve an idea which way that will be, I enjoyed the twists and turns in the road getting there.
My favourite character was Lucas, least favourite without a doubt has to be Beryl.
I would definitely give more than ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and to say I can’t wait for the next instalment is an understatement.

A great addition to the Clark’s Girls series and I hope the next one comes out soon. I could hardly put this one down! More!
