Description
Home Fires and Spitfires is a heartwarming and moving story of three women finding their strength during World War II. In June 1940, as the bombs fall, the women at home must dig deep to support their loved ones and themselves.
Three very different women arrive at Mary Vale, a Mother and Baby Home, each with their own story of struggle and resilience. Gracie, a shipyard worker, must overcome her shame when her lover turns out to be married. Diana, newly engaged, faces the loss of her fiancé just days before their wedding. Meanwhile, Zelda, isolated and bedraggled, brings a unique perspective from the ghettos of Germany.
As the bombs keep falling, these women must put aside their differences to fight a common foe. With unity and strength, they find a way to overcome their challenges and support each other in the face of adversity.
