Product Description

When Hetty Huggins made a promise to her dying mother that she would look after her younger sister and brothers, little did she know how difficult this would be. But despite the daily threat of being turned out on the streets by the unscrupulous tallyman and the never-ending struggle just to exist, Hetty is determined her family will never starve or want for a roof over their heads. And wanting something better out of life than the daily grind of making match boxes for a pittance, she dreams of setting up her own business. With the help of friends she sells hot potatoes on the streets and things begin to look up for them all. But when the tallyman comes calling, once more they are faced with a future full of hardship and despair. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spell Binding - read it in two days!, 9 May 2009
By Alison Moore "Scarlett" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I literally only finished reading this book three days ago, and was so hooked I read it in two days!

Hetty Huggins has a hard life looking after her sister and younger brothers and although at times their life looks bleak she never lets it get her down or stops trying. She dreams of running her own tea shop which is a million miles away from her life making match boxes, but with her loyal and faithful friends helping her along the way she is determined to make a success of her life.

A heart warming book with family, friends, loyalty, laughter and tears - as always a great read from Dilly Court!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mother's Promise, 19 April 2009
By Mrsa Vj Addinall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read classics at school - books I found utterly boring but Dilly Court is now my cup of tea as I can put the book down at any time, pick it up again and know all the characters and what is going on. I can't wait for her next one as I have read all up to date.
