Really enjoyed this heartwarming story of a young, very hardworking girl.. starting out in a tough household to moving to new employment and being treated like family. Watching her grow and then having a family of her own was special.

okay read

[Dawn Mills]

Really loved it

[Jayne Jones]

Very superficial story, could have been written with much more detail rather than spanning 15 years which would have made it better

[Caroline]

I couldn't put this book down a really good book

[Lesley Puncher]

I enjoyed this book it was a little bit predictable and it ended quite abruptly. It was previously published as 'The Little Train Home '
