"A new World War II-set story of four women on the home front compe ting for a spot hosting a BBC wartime cookery program and a chance to bett er their lives. Two years into World War II\, Britain is feeling her losse s\; the Nazis have won battles\, the Blitz has destroyed cities\, and U-bo ats have cut off the supply of food. In an effort to help housewives with food rationing\, a BBC radio program called The Kitchen Front is putting o n a cooking contest--and the grand prize is a job as the program's first-e ver female co-host. For four very different women\, winning the contest pr esents a crucial chance to change their lives. For a young widow\, it's a chance to pay off her husband's debts and keep a roof over her children's heads. For a kitchen maid\, it's a chance to leave servitude and find free dom. For the lady of the manor\, it's a chance to escape her wealthy husba nd's increasingly hostile behavior. And for a trained chef\, it's a chance to challenge the men at the top of her profession. These four women are g iving the competition their all--even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But with so much at stake\, will the contest that aims to bring the community together serve only to break it apart?"-- Provided by publisher .
