Reviews

[Mrs Andrea Tucker]

Fantastic read

Another lovely book to read, the story was so heartwarming and some what true to life with a happy ending.

[Sarah]

Another very formulaic book from Joan Jonker. Her books are mostly the same story told over and over but with different families in each one. Having said that they are enjoyable and are just what I've needed of late a little lite relief and happy endings.
