When Bessie finds love in the wrong crowd and falls pregnant, the image of her future and ambitions become skewed. She relies on the Saturday girls to help her see her problems through - but how will they find a home for the baby when it arrives? With wild imaginations, it is up to the Woolworths girls, new and old, to save the day - and their futures . . . The Woolworths Saturday Girls is the seventh instalment in Elaine Everest's much-loved Woolworths series, perfect for fans of historical fiction, heartwarming family sagas, and 20th century romance.
