Heartache and hardship in London's East End, from the bestselling
author of The Orphans of Halfpenny Street It's the 1950's and the
orphans of Halfpenny Street have found a new home in the Essex
countryside at Halfpenny House. Meanwhile, back among the slum
clearances of Bethnal Green, St Saviour's has now been partially
given over to a home for disturbed girls though it still serves as
a reception centre for local children who are in desperate need.
Amongst these are Archie and his sister June. They've been 'latch
key' kids; fending for themselves while their caring but harassed
and careworn mum tries to make ends meet. Now she's been accused of
theft and prison seems inescapable. Archie has no intention of
letting his mum go down. He knows she's innocent and will do
anything to prove it. But can he help his mum before adoption, and
the authorities, take him and June away forever?
