But when her friend Eva asks if she will join her in working at a servicemen's convalescent home, Lily can't refuse. Eva came to St Ives to be near Max, the American pilot who risked his own life to save hers. Now, though, he just keeps pushing her away. Meanwhile, Rose suspects that the orphanage next door is mistreating its charges, and Eva is the only one who can help her uncover the truth. Can the Cornish Girls give children and servicemen alike the Christmas they so deserve?

April 1942. Enemy gunfire on Penzance beach brings the Cornish Girls rushing to the rescue...

The tender story of a boy, his father, his grandmother, and the bond they form over Christmas "We're all pilgrims," he said thoughtfully. "One way or another, aren't we? Always searching for something." Twelfth night - time to put away the Christmas angel. A new year dawns, and everything seems to be falling into place for Dossie. Her grown son Clem and his adorable five-year-old son Jakey have moved to Cornwall to be closer to her. She runs her own successful catering business. All she needs now is some better luck in her romantic life. Complementing Dossie's rather unconventional family set-up is the wonderfully eccentric Janna: a warm-hearted, generous woman who looks after the quirky nuns of the local convent – and little Jakey. With humour, kindness and the support of friendship, they form a tight bond. But the Sisters' life as they know it is thrown into doubt when an avaricious property developer starts prowling around their beautiful, historic home. Will this close-knit unit who so depend on each other still be together next Christmas? And what will they have learnt about the true meaning of family, and about having somewhere you really belong? Find out in Marcia Willett's touching and timeless holiday tale, Christmas in Cornwall.

Caroline has no interest in an ex-soldier like Brodie, despite him clearly being a keeper; she just wants to have fun dates and work hard at her career in ante-natal care... But when a plan is set in motion, sometimes it's hard to avoid the inevitable. Maybe she won't be so lonely this Christmas?
