Book description
Things are finally looking up for George and Ann Richardson. After
causing years of worry, their younger daughter Tess, who had always been
sickly and small, is starting to blossom into a confident, clever girl.
It will be some time before she catches up with her older sister Maddy,
but her family know she'll soon be just as strong. And they've just
scraped together enough money to take them on their first holiday, to
Wales, where the country life will be just what they need. But heartache
is waiting for the family when they return to Liverpool, and many a tear
will have to fall before they find the true happiness they long for...
Joan Jonker was born and bred in Liverpool. She led a rich and varied
life and was devoted to her family. Before writing novels, she worked
tirelessly for the charity-run organisation Victims of Violence which
she founded in 1976. Sadly, Joan died in 2006, but she is remembered
fondly by her family and friends and her multitude of fans.
