Description
April 1942, Bath - the nurses are under fire in the city they once thought safe...
Freda knows the work she does on the home front is vital. Especially when bombs begin raining down on her beloved city of Bath and she and her friends find themselves feeling the effects of war like never before.
Years of being told to be a 'good girl' by her mother, Freda has always done what's been expected of her. But, even though she's proud of her work nursing soldiers and victims of war, she can't help but wonder if there's more for her in life. And her secret desire to become a journalist feels increasingly like a calling she can't resist.
Even though it's not considered work suitable for women, Freda knows she has to follow her dream. Even if it means leaving her nursing, friendships and maybe even true love behind. But then tragedy strikes close to home, and she has to ask herself - can she ever find a way to make her dreams come true?
A completely gripping, heartwarming story of friendship, love and following your dreams. Dangerous Days for T{::}he Home Front Nurses is perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Rosie Clarke, and Call the Midwife.
