Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Billington faces a lonely future. Her beloved fiancé lost at Ypres in 1917, she is now estranged from her upper-class parents due to her association with Charlie Sayers and his working-class family.

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 . . .
