A heartwarming story about love, friendship and determination, by Pam Weaver.
1946
The war is over, but a bereft Sheila Hodges is left parentless and alone in London. With nowhere else to go, she heads to Worthing to reconnect with her grandmother and cousin Veronica, known as Ronnie.
Sheila and Ronnie are given the opportunity to run their grandfather's business, a local garage. Ronnie's ne'er-do-well brother Leslie is furious - as the man of the family, he believes the business is rightfully his. But their grandmother is adamant that Leslie is not to be trusted.
After serving in the ATS in the war, Sheila is a trained mechanic, while Ronnie discovers she has a talent for numbers and a shrewd business head. Despite the garage's derelict state, they are determined to turn it into a prospering business.
Bright and lively, the girls quickly make themselves at home in the welcoming community, which is a source of comfort for them after the horrors of war. But when they stumble across a shocking family secret, they will have to depend on each other to uncover the truth . . .
