The eighth installment in bestselling author Elaine Everest's Woolworths series.

It's February 1952 and whilst the nation grieves the death of King George VI, life must go on for the Woolworths Girls.

At the Erith store, there is a new temporary manager and Sarah is getting more than a little concerned by problems he seems to be creating. The whole mess is enough to make her want to resign.

Meanwhile, Ruby is extremely worried about her friend Vera, and with illness causing a problem from her past to come flooding back, she knows it's going to take a lot of strength and willpower to do what needs to be done.

Then there is Freda, looking forward to the arrival of her first child but sick with worry that her Tony won't have returned home in time for the birth, let alone to be back to run the Erith store.

As Coronation Day for young Queen Elizabeth ll approaches, the girls from Woolworths celebrate friendship, family and overcoming anything that life throws at them.
