SHE'LL NEED TO DO ALL SHE CAN TO SAVE HER FAMILY...AND HERSELF
London, 1900s: Young Mabel Court, child of a hasty marriage and spendthrift parents, has always been a mother to her brothers and sisters.
With poverty never far from the door, the battle to stay respectable is finally lost when the family breaks up in tragic circumstances, and Mabel is thrown upon the dubious mercy of her grandmother, the sinister Mimi Court. Mimi has her own dark secrets and is not all she seems...
When Mimi falls foul of the law and Mabel has to fight for her own survival, faithful Harry Drover of the Salvation Army, in love with Mabel, gets an opportunity to prove his devotion.
Is a happy ending on the cards?
A gritty, engrossing saga in the bestselling tradition of Meg Hutchinson 20020218
