Wartime with the Cider Girls

Can their home-front resistance see them through the darkest days?

When war breaks out, Rose Flaherty is eager to do her bit. Swapping city life in Birmingham for the fields of Somerset, she joins the Land Army to help keep Britain fed. But life on the farm is tough, the work backbreaking and the farmer s son, Jimmy, isn t exactly welcoming.

An accident in the orchard brings Rose into the path of nurse Daisy and ATS clerk Elsie, and soon the three girls form an unbreakable bond. But even their quiet corner of the countryside can t escape the shadow of war.

When Rose uncovers suspicious behaviour and whispers of a secret resistance network, she finds herself pulled into a world of coded messages, hidden identities and very real danger.

As enemy forces close in, can the girls friendship and fierce spirit help protect those they love and win a battle no one knows they re fighting?
