London, April 1943.

Emmy Lake, Woman’s Friend magazine’s popular young agony aunt, is doing all she can to help the readers as they face the challenges of life on the Home Front. With the postbags overflowing, Emmy puts her heart and soul into Doing Her Bit.

But when a glamorous new owner arrives, everything changes. As the Honourable Mrs Cressida Porter tries to charm her way around editor Guy Collins and the rest of the team, Emmy realises that Mrs Porter plans to destroy everything that Woman’s Friend stands for, and worst of all, force them to abandon the readers they’ve promised to stand up for.

With best friends Bunty and Thelma by her side, Emmy must work out how she can bring everyone together to fight back before it is too late. Buoyant, heartwarming and marvellously entertaining, Mrs Porter Calling is the third novel in AJ Pearce’s series, The Emmy Lake Chronicles.
