Sewing Factory Girls
The Sewing Factory Girls is Posy Lovell's heartwarming and moving novel inspired by the brave, hardworking women who fought to improve working conditions at the Singer Factory in Clydebank. It is an uplifting and emotional novel of friendship and courage, for readers who enjoy fiction based on real-life stories. Like half of all the young women living in Clydebank in early 1911, Ellen works at the sewing machine factory. So does her big sister, Bridget, Bridget's fiancé Malcolm, and her new friend Sadie, who has come to work at the factory after the death of her father. For Sadie, the factory is a way to make ends meet, but Ellen has sewing in her veins. She is even making Bridget's wedding dress on her beloved sewing machine. But after the excitement of the wedding dies down, everything changes. Ellen discovers that the work of the cabinet polishers - her job - is to be reorganised, and they will be doing more work for less pay. Ellen feels betrayed - the sewing factory is her family and they've let her down. Sadie is more pragmatic. But the women aren't going to give in without a fight. They've been reading about strikes and they've got an idea - much to the disgust of manager Malcolm. Meanwhile, Bridget, forced to choose between her husband and her sister, has made a new friend and is fighting her own battle, alongside the suffragettes. The events of the strike will throw Ellen, Bridget and Sadie's lives into turmoil but also bring these women closer to each other than they could ever have imagined.

Singer
Rennie Starr is a mechanic at a Cadillac dealership, a skill he learned from his father. One night he gets a chance to sing with a band at a club in his home town in Southern California. A long-time church choir member, he has a fine baritone voice. The band plays the classic pop tunes from the 1930s and 40's and 50's, his father's favorites, which he knows well. Before long he is a popular local singer, and soon he starts attracting attention from all over Southern California. He is especially popular with the females in the audience, both for his smooth baritone and his handsome appearance. Romance seems possible, but will it be real, or just a temporary fling? When he gets invited to appear in Nashville with a popular female country singer, his career seems ready to take off. When other options appear, he has to make choices. He discovers that there is a price to pay for fame, and he wonders whether he is willing to pay it. He soon finds that stardom can be a lonely place in which to dwell even at the top.
