Overview

\"Set against the backdrop of the iconic Liberty's department store on Carnaby Street in London, during the height of the Blitz. this time the focus is on Alice Milwood. Born into a fractured home, Alice's mother passed away when Alice was only four. Her father, Jimmy Harris, a hardened criminal, abandoned Alice to look after her younger sister, Joy, as he left for America. Alice experienced some very tough years but always stayed on the right side of the law, refusing to follow in her father's footsteps. At the age of sixteen Alice finally found a place she could call home when she was offered a job at Liberty's. Alice thrived working with such a fabulous and supportive bunch of women, and in time she fell in love and married Luke Milwood, a handsome RAF pilot. Like many women of the time, Alice waved her husband off to war, while pregnant with their first child. Despite her husband still being missing in action, Alice is determined to give her baby Arthur the best possible start. She soon settles back into the rhythm of life on the shop floor, and the Liberty Girls rally to help keep everything on an even keel But when the American GIs start gathering in London, there are more complications to come. And each of the Liberty Girls has her own storm to weather.
