Summary

Nessie Carson will do anything to keep her family together after her mother is killed, her father abandons them and they are evicted from their cosy little Nuneaton home. She and her brothers and sisters take on jobs as live-in assistants to a local undertaker.

She is soon entwined in fortunes of her employer, Andre, who is forced to live a lie, and the local doctor - someone she's attracted to but can never have. But even in the darkest of times and saddest of places, when you're as spirited as Nessie Carson, there is light, love and the promise of happiness if you're only brave enough to search for it....

Fabulous story

One of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in a while. Very moving, believable characters who are easy to connect weigh, and grabs you from the outset.

Outstanding

What a an outstanding story. Very sad at times, but what a amazing ending twists and turns out how the story should be. I recommend everyone to listen or read the book. Well done to the author and the performance to the boo, that done it justice. Every word was clearly spoken and read very well.

Thank you to all, so I’ll be looking forward to the next audiobook by this author once again.

So moving

Didn’t want it to end. Nessy is a girl after my own heart and you can really relate to all of the goings on.
