Isabel's War

When one woman''s attempt to help the war effort from her sleepy Devon village is thwarted, she is determined to fight back!

September 1940: World War II is raging, but Isabel is finally able to escape her unhappy marriage when her husband is promoted to a new army post and leaves their London home.

But within hours of freedom, and potential happiness with Vincent who really loves her, the two are separated in an air raid. Hoping that an old friend will give her refuge, Isabel calls on Julia who runs a Devon guesthouse, who immediately invites her to mend her broken heart in the comfort of sleepy village life. But when Isabel tries to join the local Defence Volunteers, she finds that they do not accept women.

Determined to give the local women a voice, Isabel sets up her own organisation. But can her venture unite these isolated women together against their enemy?<>
