Summary

Can she win over her sweetheart's family?

Emily had always been a trial as a child - pushy and rough - and Boots had always avoided her.

But now she's an elegant and stylish young lady, and she and Boots are due to be married - and must face the challenge of his wartime injuries together.

Can she draw on that steely toughness to rise to the challenge and do right by the love of her life and his family?

Our Emily is the second in Mary Jane Staples's Adams Family series. Their story continues in The King of Camberwell. Have you listened to Down Lambeth Way, the first Adams Family book?

Brilliant!

These stories are so reminiscent of my mum’s childhood (she was born in 1920) in S.W. London, Streatham and later Tooting.
Lovely to listen to, well read and enjoyable.
