Great read

I love these books, they make me laugh out loud, such a great read, would recommend them to anyone down in the dumps, they would put a smile on their faces.

When her Dad gets seriously ill, young Polly has to find a job to support her Mother and her little brother, as the family is very poor. How Polly and her family master all the obstacles thrown in their way, make new friends and resist temptations is told with masterful skill, lots of humour and compassion.
Love this author's books.

Like a good Hallmark movie.

Kept me guessing all the way to then end. Will he or won’t he. That was my question. A good fluff piece showing how the poor and the rich CAN get along if only they give it a chance.
