Lipstick Warriors Summary
| Randy, Janet and Lydia become close friends when they join up in World War II as A.T.S. staff car and ambulance drivers. Their various postings in England culminate in an invasion rehearsal exercise in South Wales. Randy and Janet are then posted to United Triumph H.Q. and sent overseas to Paris and Germany, while Lydia becomes an officer and is posted to Brussels. Randy is adventurous, flirtatious and somewhat undisciplined. Janet is appealing and motherly, with a sense of humour; she is a young widow, whose great desire is to have children. Lydia is attractive and gregarious. The novel follows the adventures and romances of the three young women as they drive their staff officers through England, France and Germany against the background of unfolding events in the war. Their stories are sympathetically told, with comedy and tragedy in equal measure. World War II brought the three friends together, and even though their futures lie at different corners of the world they will be friends for life.
