When war changes the world, her courage stands strong
Rosie Gallagher has always dreamed of being a conductress on Edinburgh's trams, and when WW2 calls the men away, she finally gets her chance. Rosie finds friendship among her fellow clippies as they settle into their new jobs, even as they are viewed with suspicion for taking on men's jobs.

As the city pulls together in the dark days of war, will Rosie find that love and courage will be enough to light the way to a hopeful future?
A captivating and heart-warming romantic saga set in World War Two, perfect for fans of Donna Douglas, Daisy Styles and Johanna Bell.
