Staffordshire, 1911. Ginnie Jones's childhood is spent in the shadow of the famous Potteries. But with money in short supply, and no hope in sight, Ginnie is sent to Haddon Workhouse.
Separated from her family, Ginnie has to grow up fast. When she meets Clara and Sam, she hopes that she has met friends for life... until tragedy snatches away her newfound joy.
Leaving Haddon three years later, Ginnie misses her friends - especially Sam, now a handsome young man. When Sam and Ginnie are reunited, their bond is as strong as ever - until Sam is sent to fight in WW1. Faced with uncertainty, will Ginnie finally find the happiness she's never had?
An emotional WW1 family saga by Orkney based author, Lynn Johnson.
