Klappentext

Discover the gripping conclusion to Glenda Young's Toffee Factory trilogy, set in a WWI toffee factory in the North-East!
It is time to celebrate the end of the war, but at Jack's toffee factory their troubles are far from over . . .

Fun, feisty Elsie longs for freedom and excitement, so 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 by creating a new line of toffee. However, a blast from Mr Jack's past tries to jeopardise the factory's success.

Hetty is torn as her sweetheart Dirk prepares to leave for his hometown in Belgium. And 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 face the future with courage and hope.
