Book description
Plucky Lucy Linden is the mainstay of her family, selling firewood
and toffee apples on the streets of Liverpool to support her widowed
mother and little brother. Her uncanny ability to be in the right
place at the wrong time gets her noticed by upright, young police
constable Rob Jones, who decides to keep a watchful eye over her -
much to her annoyance.
But when Lucy's uncle returns from the Great War with a tendency to
lash out, her attitude towards Rob changes. For while she must appear
strong for her family's sake, Rob turns out to be someone she can
trust with her innermost secrets and fears. But there's one secret she
can't quite bring herself to tell him...
June Francis was born in Blackpool and moved to Liverpool at an early
age. She began writing in her forties and contributed stories to MY
WEEKLY. She has since published over twenty novels. She is married with
three grown-up sons.
