Lady Persephone signed up to show everyone shes more than just a pretty face but itll take more than some charm and her noble credentials to win handsome Sergeant Fraser over.

Tall, strong Grace has led a lonely life working on a croft, with just her mother for company. All she wants is to find her place in the world even if thats a thousand miles from home.

And Irene misses her husband terribly, so until he returns home from the frontline, shes distracting herself with war work. But one distraction too far leads to devastating consequences

Can the Lumberjills get through their struggles together even when tragedy strikes
