About the Books:
The series opens with The Girl from the Workhouse, where young Ginnie Jones is sent to Haddon Workhouse after her family falls on hard times, forging bonds with fellow orphans Clara and Sam before working as a mouldrunner in the Potteries, only for war to threaten everything she has rebuilt. Wartime with the Tram Girls follows Constance Copeland, who hides her privileged background to become a tram clippie as WW1 changes Britain, finding friendship and romance among the tram-yard women. In The Potteries Girls on the Home Front, Betty Dean's search for independence leads to service in Cheshire and a secret that could ruin her reputation. A New Day at Paradise Pottery tells of Martha Owen, whose difficult home life pushes her towards independence as WW1 strains reach the pottery works. The set closes with Heartache For The Tram Girls, where Ruth finds comfort in a gentle mechanic amid grief and rivalry.
