Lana and May are a very long way from home. Their Nigerian parents
have emigrated to England in search of a better life for their
family. Nineteen fifties London is a great adventure to the girls
but not always welcoming. There are signs in windows of lodging
houses warning: 'no blacks, no dogs, no Irish'. When tragedy
strikes and the girls lose their father, their mother is unable to
cope. When she fails to recover from the surprise birth of another
child, all three girls are sent to an orphanage. Lana is determined
to keep her sisters together but when baby Tina is cruelly taken
from them, she must face the possibility of their family being torn
apart - perhaps forever... A heartbreakingly lovely and original
saga celebrating black history which will appeal to historical
fiction readers new and old.
