The second book in THE CHOCOLATE BOX GIRLS series by beloved saga author Gracie Hart

York, 1940

World War Two has arrived for the girls of the Rowntrees factory, and with rationing crippling the country, chocolate production has been driven to a bare minimum. It's all change for the Freeman sisters when the Rowntrees factory is turned over to making munitions.

Molly is put on the fuse and detonator line, soon becoming skilled at her work despite the dangers. Rose copes with husband Ned's absence with the RAF by relishing her position on the Board. And Annie joins the Land Army, billeted to a pig farm in Lancashire.

Despite the heartache and worry, nothing will stop the Freeman sisters from doing all they can for their men and country.
