COMFORTS FOR THE TROOPS. A heartwarming yet gritty novel inspired by women working at Cadbury's chocolate factory during World War One.

Housewife Jessie Paignton left the Cadbury chocolate factory to get married, never expecting to set foot in the Bournville Works again. But when her husband Bill is injured in an accident Jessie has no choice but to return to her old job to make ends meet, not realising that subsequent events will test her marriage to breaking point.

Leonora, the formidable Miss Lime, is one of Cadbury's longest-serving employees, who secretly longs for the forewoman's job. With the outbreak of war in 1914, Leonora seizes the chance to display her leadership qualities by rallying the girls to pack 'Comforts' for the soldiers. But her plan to impress the Cadbury directors (and win promotion) unexpectedly - and tragically - backfires.

Meanwhile, vivacious Mary Morris doesn't have a care in the world - or so it seems. Despite trying to protect her beloved Daniel he ends up in even greater danger and Mary will do all she can to save him.

From the author of the acclaimed biography, BEATRICE The Cadbury Heiress Who Gave Away Her Fortune, comes a story of the trials and triumphs of three women set 100 years ago in Birmingham's best-loved chocolate factory, Cadbury's.
