The Waterway Girls: A moving British WWII saga of friendship and resilience by Milly Adams so they say, and it is. I find I write about community, friendship and resilience a great deal.
The waterway girls who worked on the canals were ideal for this theme. After all, where can we find a tighter community than a group of people who have spent their whole lives on the canals, and as a group or community have to accept war-workers who know nothing of running a narrowboat, and girls at that. I loved writing it, and did a great deal of research to ‘get it right’. I hope I did. It is the first of three, and this week, it is FREE @ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FRN1JWMF/
