Summary

Dilly is devastated: with her husband unable to work and four children already at home, they cannot afford to feed their newborn baby. Heartbroken, she delivers her baby girl to the Farthing family, who have just lost their own daughter to measles.

This act of desperation will change the lives of both families irrevocably. But when the chance for true love finally comes, will Dilly choose family over her own happiness?

I enjoyed listening to this book. Charlie Sanderson is a brilliant narrator, and I find it very sad and gripping.

A good old faithful

A great story of just how hard times were back in those times. Saying that it wasn't predictable because just like life everyone has their own family history. It was a great listen. Just a note, I did have to speed it up a tad as it was too slow iny opinion.

Good story

The storyline was good as were the characters, but the ending was extremely disappointing. Very well narrated bringing the characters alive.
