The Liverpool Matchgirl is a nostalgic and poignant saga of Liverpool in the years before the First World Warfare from best-selling author Lyn Andrews, never to be overlooked by fans of Donna Douglas and Dilly Judge. Liverpool, 1901. The Tempest family is all but destitute, barely able to put food up for grabs. When Florrie comes sick with pneumonia and Arthur is imprisoned after a drunken fight, their 13-year-old daughter, Lizzie, detects herself parentless, desperate and together. Despite her early age, Lizzie has spirit and willpower, and she recognizes that she must find work to keep herself from the streets. Inside a stroke of good luck, she gets employment in the match manufacturing plant, and foreman George Rutherford takes her under his wing. A new house with the Rutherfords assures a safe haven, but the years in advance will be far from trouble-free. And when Lizzie gives her heart, how do she make sure she's chosen a much better man than her own father?
