One Perfect Family . . . can bring a whole village together
Lancashire, 1934. When Tam Crawford is unexpectedly bequeathed some
money, he can finally realise his dream of settling down in the
beautiful village of Ellindale. Tam knows he can be impulsive - his
nickname isn't Crazy Tam for nothing! - but this time he is
determined not to be ruled by his big heart and hot head. Yet
somehow, within just one day, he has taken on a fiancee and two
children to keep them out of the poorhouse - or worse. Despite
their unconventional start, as Tam and his new family get to know
and love each other, they come to realise that his act of charity
is the best thing that could have happened to all of them. But
there are still problems and they struggle to find somewhere to
live. Tam and his makeshift family are not the only ones facing
difficulties. Local benefactor Finn Carlisle's attempts to help the
unemployed are being sabotaged by an unscrupulous local councillor,
and Tam's cousin-by-marriage Hilda Kerkham has been widowed and is
struggling even to feed her son. Will the people of Ellindale be
able to help one another in these hard times? Praise for the
Ellindale series 'One of the most lovely and heartwarming books I
have ever read! *****' - Between the Pages 'A book of family, love,
friendship and loyalty. *****' - Stardust Book Reviews 'I was
gripped from the very first word on the very first page and I
wasn't released until the last word on the last page . . . When I
finished I felt like I had been through an emotional wringer.
*****' - Ginger Book Geek
