Can this family survive?
A heart touching story! Trouble reared it's ugly head on every side. Life was definitely not kind to the characters in this book. Tragedy dealt an awful blow. Could this fragmented family possibly survive? Sit back and relax as you get acquainted with these beautiful characters.

I enjoyed this story very much. Joy and sorrow befall the characters. They make the best of the hand dealt to them. A lovely read on a cold winter's night.

This book tore my heart out then put it back together again. Rose is a living miracle to have survived the abandonment and abuse she endured during childhood. Shady underworld characters lurk around her.

Rose, Liam and Adam
An interesting story of the period of time in England when poor people were not treated well as factory workers.
