The BRAND NEW wartime saga from the much-loved author of THE
TILBURY POPPIES. Perfect for fans of Annie Murray and Donna Douglas
Will she sacrifice her dreams to care for her family? Essex, 1959.
Keep the family together, that's what her old mum always said. Put
up and shut up. And that's what everyone else did around there. Flo
earns her money as a scrubber, cleaning the cruise ships and
dreaming of a day when she might sail away from her life in the
Dwellings, the squalid tenements of Tilbury docks. Then the
Blundell family are evicted from their home. Fred, Flo's husband,
finds work at Monday's, a utopian factory town. Suddenly, it seems
like everything is on the up for Flo Blundell and her children.
Even Jeanie, Flo's sulking teenage daughter, seems to be thawing a
little in her shiny new surroundings. But when Fred starts drinking
again, he jeopardises the family's chance to escape poverty for
good. Flo is faced with a terrible decision. Must she fight to keep
her family together? Or could she strive for the life of her dreams
- the kind of life she could have when her ship comes in? A
heart-warming story of love, loss and friendship, set against the
backdrop of post-war England REAL READERS love Sue Wilsher's
novels: 'Emotional, sweeping and unputdownable!' 'A superbly good
read' 'A powerful, gripping saga' 'A beautiful read. I hope there
will be many more novels to follow this one'
