The Lumberjills Take a Stand





Did you know that during WW2 that there were lumberjack girls?  I know I didn't. A very dangerous job. One mistake can cause you a limb or your life. This storyline is based on young women doing just that.

The young ladies became tough and put up with no nonsense.   Down the road was a temporary American military base.  Their presence caused quite a lot of bother as the lumberjills observed abuse to the soldiers....the black soldiers. They were not going to just stand by and do nothing.  

My favorite character is Harry (Harriet).  A 14 year old girl who acts tough due to her past.  She has a heart of gold and will do what she can to make things right.

This was Book 2 of the LumberJill series. I wouldn't call this a light read.  I enjoyed the book.  

I received this book from Boldwood to review.

The Lumberjills Take a Stand

The peace at Wipers Farm is threatened by an accidental run-in between the Lumberjills, a group of Black American Army Laborers and their superiors, who don't take kindly to the girls inviting the laborers to the local public house and take out their anger on their men.

Whilst making new friends, dangerous enemies are quick to anger and all the Lumberjills, as well as their friends in the village, are in mortal danger. In the midst, love is blooming for one of the girls, paving the way for a post war life.

Only by sticking together and trusting each other and their friends, old and new, to do the right thing, can they hope to survive.
