A Place Called Home - Dilly Court

Born out of wedlock when her mother was only fourteen, Lucy Pocket has spent all her life in the care of her grandmother, Eva. They dodge from one poor lodging house to another, always in debt and resorting to theft in order to exist.

Until her wealthy paternal grandfather buys Lucy from Eva, determined to bring her up to be a lady. When her grandfather dies, his despicable nephew cheats Lucy out of her inheritance, and forces her to look after his three illegitimate children.

Lucy is determined to make a life for herself and the children, and to search for her long-lost grandmother, creating the family she has always longed for.
