Description
Can she hide the secret that could ruin her reputation?
After becoming pregnant out of wedlock, Kathy feared for her future – until her mother agreed to raise the baby as her own.
While Kathy causes consternation for her family, everything changes after she meets handsome RAF pilot, Alisdair. They grow close, but when their relationship is threatened, Kathy runs away from heartbreak by joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service.
Kathy’s new life in Yorkshire is a world away from the Glasgow tenement she grew up in, but she finds friendship with women who know nothing of her past, and spends her evenings at dances with charming soldiers.
But despite being surrounded by new faces, Kathy can’t get Alisdair, nor her secret child, out of her mind...
A romantic and gritty World War Two Scottish saga that fans of Rosie Meddon and Rowena Summers will adore.

A nice, sweet story of a group of young women looking for love as ATA ack-ack girls during WWII with a happy ending all around.
This series just gets better with each book.
When Kathy Dougal joins the ATS Gunner girls she decides to leave some of her secrets at home, will they come back to haunt her!
On a visit to the local butcher, after listening to a couple of local gossips drag her reputation into the gutter, Kathy flees the shop only to go crashing into the dashing Alisdair Meikle who is bewitched by by Kathy’s glorious red hair. Unknown to Kathy, her one time friend Judith Lennox sees her and decides to use the information as a weapon at a later date.
Kathy comes from a very loving and close family, run by her mother Mary who has a heart of gold. Mary is very protective of Kathy and woe betide anyone who does anything to harm her.
There are some wonderful characters in this book, my favourite is Mary (reminded me of my Glasgow nanny)
Least favourite had to be Camilla
Great instalment from the Kiltie Street girls. Catching up with friends old and new.
This instalment features Kathy who is Jeannies sister from the first book. Kathy has a secret and she is escaping the street to make a fresh start in the ATS. But things have always a way of catching up. Kathy’s story is about growing up and friendships and relationships asked on the new her but how is she going to let them know of her past without changing their opinion of who she has become.
Well written and hoping there is more in this series .
This author’s books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found. Compelling and didn’t want it to end!
A wonderful heart warming saga. With a lovely ending. Even though was set in a war it still had amazing characters
War has cost her but courage can heal her heart.
WW2 Glasgow 1943.
Kiltie Street in the tenement, living with her family, Kathy's son Dennis is now been looked after by her mammy and step dad it's a kept secret and he will be known as her brother.
