As war rages, can a new arrival bring them together?

Winter, 1941

With the darkest nights of the Sheffield Blitz behind them, the Steel Girls are looking ahead to a new chapter. Hattie is thrilled to learn that she is expecting a bundle of joy with her husband, John. But as her father continues to fan the flames of tension at home, can she protect her baby – and herself – in such uncertain times?

Josie never dreamt that she would be raising her girls without her beloved husband, Alf. But as the war continues, she is determined to roll up her sleeves and give her daughters the strength to carry on.

Eldest daughter Daisy has seen the war destroy everything she holds dear. But as she begins to put the past behind her, could the upcoming spring bring with it the first flush of love?

As the Steel Girls look ahead, could it be that they find joy… even in the toughest of times?
