Can she fix her family before the war is over?
When Eileen, known to all as Sheena, is forced to move back to Kiltie Street from Devon by her landlady, she is unsure how she will start over again. With the help of friends old and new, she finds work at a garment factory. And though she catches the eye of some local men, her fianc, Jimmy, overseas is never far from her mind.
As life settles in, a surprise appears at Sheena's door: a woman named Amy, claiming to be her cousin. Amy has strange habits and a frantic personality - but Sheena agrees to house her for the time being. However, her suspicions grow around Amy's secretive ways, especially when Jimmy returns from war, and Amy refuses to leave the newlyweds.
With war coming to a close, Amy is hiding more than Sheena imagined. With help from the rest of the Kiltie Street girls, can Sheena find a way to mend their differences, and be a family once again?
A romantic and gripping World War Two Scottish saga that fans of Rosie Meddon and Rowena Summers will adore.
