It's 1952 and with a new Monarch about to ascend the thrown, The Woolworths Girls will face fresh new challenges . . .

At The Erith Store there is a new temporary manager and Sarah is getting more than a little concerned by problems he seems to be creating. The whole mess is enough to make her resign.

Meanwhile, Ruby is extremely worried about her friend Vera, and with illness causing a problem from Vera's past to come flooding back, she knows it’s going to take a lot of strength and willpower to do what needs to be done.

Then there is Freda, looking forward to the arrival of her first child – but sick with worry that her Tony won’t have returned home in time for the birth.

As Coronation Day for young Queen Elizabeth II approaches, the girls from Woolworths celebrate friendship, family and overcoming anything that life can throw at them . . .

Celebration for the Woolworths Girls is the ninth novel in Elaine Everest's bestselling Woolworths series.
