In the heart of the Devon countryside, a group of spirited women are thrown together by war — and by the promise of a new beginning.

Abandoned during the Blitz and left to raise her son alone, Alice Todd finds refuge in the countryside. She never planned to lead a team of Land Girls — but on a Devonshire farm, she finds friendship, purpose and sisterhood that can heal the deepest of wounds.

Book 1: Muddy Boots and Silk Stockings
Devonshire, 1943. When Alice Todd is abandoned by her husband during the Blitz, she’s left alone with a young son and a broken heart. Desperate for a fresh start, she flees London for the quiet village of Ledburton and a job as warden at Lower Post Farm. But life in the countryside is far from easy. The Land Girls aren’t convinced she’s cut out for the role and neither is the brooding farmer, Roger Bayliss. Determined to prove them wrong, Alice must fight to earn their trust — and build the future she and her son deserve.

Book 2: The Girl at the Farmhouse Gate
Devonshire, 1944. Alice never thought she’d survive a year as warden at Lower Post Stone Farm — but against the odds, she’s found friendship, purpose, and maybe even a spark with the brooding farmer, Roger Bayliss. But just as life begins to blossom, a burning aircraft crashes nearby — and the pilot vanishes without a trace. As fear grips the village, can the Land Girls hold strong when it matters most?

Book 3: Alice’s Girls
Devonshire, 1945. Christmas brings an unexpected surprise to Lower Post Stone Farm — Mabel has given birth to twins in the lambing shed, and the Land Girls couldn’t be more delighted. But with the war finally over, change is in the air. Their time at the farm is drawing to a close, and each must face an uncertain future. As Alice weighs her own path — and her feelings for Roger Bayliss — can the Land Girls find hope after heartbreak and build the lives they’ve dreamed of?

Book 4: Evie
Devonshire, 1945. As victory dances light up Ledburton, quiet Land Girl Evie Clark finds herself falling for Giorgio, a kind-hearted Italian POW — everything her abusive husband is not. But when her husband returns from the front, Evie is torn from the arms of her new love. Desperate to escape the past, she must rely on her fellow Land Girls to help her find the freedom — and happiness — she deserves.

Four moving tales of love, loss, and the quiet heroism of women on the home front — perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Sylvia Broady, Merryn Allingham, Tania Crosse, Susanna Bavin or Lesley Eames.
