Product Description

In her terraced house in Liverpool, Molly Bennett struggles to bring up four children on her husband’s meagre wage. But Molly doesn’t complain; she has an abundance of things money can’t buy – and a home filled with love and laughter. When her eldest daughter, Jill, is offered a place at high school, Molly is racked with guilt. She needs Jill working to relieve their poverty. But Jill eases Molly’s conscience by getting herself a job in a baker’s shop while signing up for night school. Molly’s best mate is Nellie McDonough; they spend hours laughing, gossiping and lending a helping hand to others. And when they discover one of their neighbours is being beaten by her violent husband, the friends roll up their sleeves and take action. Meanwhile, Jill starts dating Nellie’s son, Steve, and both families are delighted. But Jill lands herself an office job that takes her into a world beyond the confines of their close-knit community and she and Steve seem to be drifting apart...

A very heart warming story
Nellie and Molly are back in full swing. This time their children are all growing up and leaving school. Jill is dating Steve and all is well until she lands an office job and the bosses son has a soft spot for Jill which causes her and Steve to fall out. All turns out well in the end. Then Mollys dad ends up in hospital. But true to form Molly and Nellie are up to their eyes helping Ellen. She has a wicked husband Nobby Clark. He ends up in a sorry state but Molly and Nellie put their heads together and help the poor Ellen the best they can. This in turn makes Ellen very strong and she starts to make a new life with her children. Joan Jonker never failed to please me with this book and i just could not put it down. She knows where to hit the spot and im waiting now to read more on the famous Molly and Nellie. Roll on April 2001 as i cant wait to get my hands on the new book.
