About this ebook
Only true friendship will see them through the Blitz . . .
Meet The East End Angels, the newest members of Station Seventy-Five's ambulance crew
Strong-willed Winnie loves being part of the crew at Station Seventy-Five, but her parents are less than happy. She has managed to avoid their pleas to join the WRENS so far, but when a tragedy hits too close to home she finds herself wondering if she's cut out for this life after all.
Former housemaid Bella was forced to leave the place she loved and it's taken her a while to find somewhere else to call home. She's finally starting to build a new life, but when the air raids begin it seems she may have to start over once again.
East-Ender Frankie's sense of loyalty keeps her tied to home so it's not easy for her to stay focused at work. With her head and heart pulling in different directions, will she find the strength to come through for her friends when they need her the most?
Brought together at LAAS Station Seventy-Five in London's East End during 1940, these three very different women soon realise that they'll need each other if they're to get through the days ahead. But can the ties of friendship, love and family all remain unbroken?
