About this book:
1901. Liverpool.
The Tempest family is all but destitute. When Florrie falls ill with pneumonia and Arthur is imprisoned after a drunken fight, their thirteen-year-old daughter Lizzie finds herself parentless and alone.
Lizzie has spirit and pride, and she’s determined to find respectable work. By a lucky chance she gets a job in the match factory, where foreman George Rutherford takes her under his wing. A new home with the Rutherfords promises a safe haven, but the years ahead will be far from trouble-free. And when Lizzie gives her heart, how can she be sure she has chosen a better man than her father?
