Once entrenched in the war effort, Kay meets and befriends three women in her line of work: There is shy Emily, who has just left her family’s farm for the first time; down to earth Biddy, a recent survivor of the bombing of Liverpool, and rambunctious Jo, who laughs in the face of authority and is bound to get the gang in trouble.
