\n"Two years into World W ar II\, Britain is feeling her losses\; the Nazis have won battles\, the B litz has destroyed cities\, and U-boats have cut off the supply of food. I n an effort to help housewives with food rationing\, a BBC radio program c alled The \;Kitchen Front \;is putting on a cooking contest--and t he grand prize is a job as the program's first-ever female co-host. For fo ur very different women\, winning the contest presents a crucial chance to change their lives. For a young widow\, it's a chance to pay off her husb and's debts and keep a roof over her children's heads. For a \;kitchen \;maid\, it's a chance to leave servitude and find freedom. For the l ady of the manor\, it's a chance to escape her wealthy husband's increasin gly 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 giving the comp etition their all--even if that sometimes means bending the rules. But wit h so much at stake\, will the contest that aims to bring the community tog ether serve only to break it apart?"-- Provided by publisher.
