Soldier Girl

Molly Fox has grown up in the back streets of Birmingham at the mercy of her grandfather and her cruel, drunken mother. Though she has grown into a tall, beautiful woman, Molly is trapped by her impoverished past and haunted by terrible family secrets.

When, one night during the Blitz, her old friend Emma Brown finds her lying drunk in a gutter, Molly reaches a turning point. She decides to escape by joining the army as an ATS girl.

At first her new start seems fated to be a disaster. But the army gives her the encouragement she hungers for and soon her life is flourishing, bringing new freedoms, friendship, and above all, the joys and confusion of love.
