The Woolworths Girl's Promise Summary

The Woolworths Girl's Promise: Love, drama and tragedy converge as the Woolworths saga returns... by Elaine Everest

The Woolworth Girl's Promise is the heart warming eighth novel in Elaine Everest's bestselling Woolworths series that follows the turbulent life of a much-loved Woolworths girl.

After losing her beloved fiance at Ypres in 1917, seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Billington faces a lonely future estranged from her upper-class parents due to her association with Charlie Sayers and his working-class family. No longer able to live under her parents' roof she is taken in by Charlie's father, escaping the suffocating demands of her parents.

Betty soon learns all too well about the realities of life after an accident at the Woolwich Arsenal munitions works. Spotting an advertisement for a nearby job at Woolworths, Betty starts on a new and thrilling journey - starting at the bottom of the employment ladder in the well-known store.

Her work journey leads her to Ramsgate in Kent to work in a newly-built store and with this comes the chance of marriage. But can she ever forget Charlie and the promise she made to him . . . ?

Read this exciting early chapter in the life of well-known Betty Billington and follow her journey before she arrives at the Erith store - and meets fellow Woolworths Girls in 1938, as war is again on the horizon . . .
