The Workshop Girls

London, 1938: Young Lizzie Larch is a hat maker in London's east end. She is happy and popular, but she carries a secret. When she starts courting her boss' nephew, a shocking revelation surfaces, threatening to destroy their new-found happiness.

Lizzie adores her beautiful and clever daughters and will do anything for them. But when head strong Betty, the eldest, runs away after an argument, heartbreak and worry descend on the family. Sebastian is plunged into a dangerous overseas mission to track Betty to Paris, and to the lair of the rogue that seduced her.

Against the devastating Blitz of London, Lizzie Larch must make a success of her business, alone, in order to survive. Battling against shortages, her hats become more popular, but what of the man she loves? Will he ever return? What Lizzie knows, now, is that success can mean nothing without love.
