All Jackie wants is for her children to have a brighter future than she did. So long as Martha, the eldest, gets into university and follows her dreams, all her sacrifice will be worth something... won't it?

'Amanda Prowse has written about painful, hurtful, difficult real
life in the most exquisite way ... Instead of being transported to
a life and a world I have never experienced or indulging in
unrealistic romances, I spent the days of my holiday reading a
novel about real life and it left me feeling grateful' The Glass
House Girls.
'A great read full of warm family atmosphere and lashings of
trademark Prowse detail' Wendy Holden.

thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to pick up another Amanda
Prowse novel very soon' Brizzle Lass Books.
