Book description
At eleven years of age, Albertina Listerman loses her parents in a
terrible accident. At twenty-one, she experiences further tragedy when
her half-brother commits suicide, having squandered the family fortune.
Robbed of her very last penny, Ally is thrust into a world of hardship
for which she is ill-prepared. Her salvation comes in the form of Jack
Fossett, a kind lad who takes pity on this beautiful, bedraggled girl,
and welcomes Ally into his heart. But Jack's mother Flo is less
convinced, and time must pass and secrets must be revealed before Ally
and Flo see eye to eye - particularly when they discover that Ally is
not as destitute as she thought... Lynda Page was born and brought up
in Leicester, the eldest of four daughters. She lives in a village near
Leicester.
