Joanna Foat, author and speaker, uncovered the forgotten WW2 history of the Women's Timber Corps.

Her media interviews include BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour, TV's How We Won The War, Walking Wartime Britain, BBC South TV and Dan Snow's History Hit Podcast.

"A powerful story of hardship and friendship, based on the author's own original research. I was rooting for these girls to prove themselves on their challenging adventure." - Suzanne Goldring via Goodreads"This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!" - NetGalley Reviewer via Goodreads "This is a charming book that left me looking forward to the next installment. I loved the way each Lumberjill's story unfolded, while keeping focus on Keeva. The book has been brilliantly researched, with period details being handled with particular subtlety. Adding to the book's charm is the author's gentle evocation of nature which clearly arises from real life felt experience. A lovely book. Highly recommended!" - Andrew C via Amazon
