As romance kindles, rumours spread and friendships are tested by secrets, jealousies and forbidden longings. When the Lumberjills are accused of espionage, can Keeva uncover the truth before prejudice tears their tender bonds of sisterhood apart?Inspired by true events, this is a gripping story of resilience, friendship and love, bringing to life the forgotten story of the Lumberjills in World War Two - and the secrets they risked everything to protect.
