In 1939, on her first day at Woolworths, Sarah Caselton meets glamorous Maisie and shy Freda. The trio couldn't be more different but they soon form a tight knit friendship, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future.
Sarah falls into the warmth and rhythm of her new job, enjoying the social events hosted by Woolies and her blossoming romance with the young assistant manager, Alan.
But history waits for no one, and with the threat of war clouding the horizon, the young men and women of Woolworths soon realise they may not have the luxury of a carefree youth or the time to fall in love . . .
The Woolworths Girls is a heart-warming tale of friendship, family and hope in the face of war.
