2008-06-18 A MUST Read!!!

This is a well written moving book, that shows the couragous determination of a young widow, with her two children, Joss and Beth. After losing her husband at sea Eloise is forced to move in with her in-laws, which are seemingly the worlds worst in-laws ever! She is then forced to take refuge elsewhere with a friendly dairy farmer and her family.
Despite the farmers families generousity, she decides that she must try to make a life for herself and her family back in London. She falls on many a hard time, that leads her to consider giving up her children, but given all she has been through with them can she do it? You'll have to read the book to find out.
Being a mother to Three small children, this book brought tears to my eyes on many occassions, and I could whole heartedly sympathise with her situation! Eloise has lost so much in her life, and she wants to keep hold of her beloved children at all costs, it really depicts what courage a mother must have in order to protect her children and do the right thing by them.
As always, Dilly Court has shown her amazing ability to create a book that is not only a pleasure to read, but so deep that it makes the book hard to put down!
