Stormy Times for The Dockyard Girls

Pre-Order the next book in the gritty, historical saga series set around the hardworking women of Grimsby Dockyard from Tracy Baines. Sometimes it’s not about saving others – it’s about saving yourself…

Great Grimsby, Peace Day July 1919

The Great War is over, and few families have been left untouched. Those who remain face a tough and uncertain future.

Letty Hardy has managed to keep her family afloat by running a café and chandlers on Grimsby Docks. She’s grateful for the safe return of her husband Alec from minesweeping duties, when many women were not so fortunate. War has left deep scars buried beneath the surface and one explosive secret is set to blow the family apart.

Trawler owner, Richard Evans worked hard to leave a legacy. Something to hand down through the generations. With his sons lost to war, Ruth, his only daughter stands to inherit the Excel Trawler Company, so it's important that she marries well. But is her current suitor the right husband for Ruth?

Can the folk of Great Grimsby rebuild their lives and find the peace they so desperately seek?

A gritty story of love, forgiveness and redemption perfect for readers of Elaine Everest, Nancy Revell and Pam Howes.
