'In 1929, twenty-year-old Tilly Harper leaves the peace and beauty of her native Lake District for London to become assistant housemother at one of Mr.Shaw's Training Homes for Watercress and Flower girls.For years,the homes have cared for London's flower girls-orphaned and crippled children who live on the grimy streets and sell posies of violets and watercress to survive.

In this book my personal favourite character was Tilly as she was kind, friendly and brave.I think she is an amazing role model for anyone.This book is full of twits and surprises and will make you cry like a baby. Amazing work by Hazel Gaynor i would defiantly recommend this book to anyone.click here to buy the book on amazon.
