About the book
Discover the gripping conclusion to the Toffee Factory trilogy, set in a WWI toffee factory in the North-East!
The Great War has ended, but Jack’s toffee factory struggles after years of sugar rations and its troubles are far from over.
Fun, feisty Elsie longs for freedom and excitement. Hoping to meet the man of her dreams, she spurns the attention of dependable Stan. Will she realise that what she wants and what she needs are different things?
Efficient Anne takes control at the factory to change its fortunes after the war. She creates a new line of toffee. However, an unwelcome blast from Mr Jack’s past tries to jeopardise the factory’s success.
And Hetty is torn when her sweetheart Dirk prepares to leave for his hometown in Belgium. At the same time, her old boyfriend Bob returns from the Front, determined to marry her. Who will Hetty choose?
As the toffee factory girls celebrate the end of the war, they are more determined than ever to face the future with courage and hope.
