Heartache and hardship in London's East End, from the best-selling writer of The Orphans of Halfpenny Streets. It is the 1950s, and the orphans of Halfpenny Streets have found a new home in the Essex countryside at Halfpenny House. In the meantime, back among the slum clearances of Bethnal Green, St Saviour's has been partially given to a home for disturbed girls, though it still will serve as a reception centre for local children who are in anxious need. Amongst they are Archie and his sister, June. They've been 'latch key' kids, fending for themselves while their caring but harassed and careworn mum will try to make ends meet. Now she's been accused of theft, and prison seems inescapable. Archie does not have any intention of letting his mum go down. He recognizes she's innocent and will do anything to prove it. But can he help his mum before adoption, and the government bodies, take him and June away permanently?
