Publisher's Summary

1930s London - a backstreet saga full of hopes, dreams and the fight for survival. Perfect for the fans of Rosie Clarke and Lindsey Hutchinson.

Work at Price's Candle Factory in Battersea is tedious for intelligent 17-year-old Hillie Hardwick, but she knows she is lucky to have a job at all.

Her home life is no better, as she constantly battles with her exacting and bullying father in order to protect her mother and five younger siblings from his abuse.

Her only solace is her loving relationship with the chaotic Parker family and her best friend, Gert Parker.

When matters violently escalate for Hillie, smitten Jack-the-Lad Jimmy Baxter seems her only salvation. But could this be the biggest mistake of her life, and should she be looking for protection nearer home?

A story that crackles with unease where courage and friendship are the only hope.

I Love the Way Good always overcomes Evil in Tania Cross’ Stories.

The heroines have so much to endure before they reach the end of their tales but I love their comeuppance. This listener is satisfied. Wells, mineshafts, and now a vat. Goodness knows what is to happen in the next tale. No doubt I’ll be back soon with another recommendation.
