  The TOP TEN bestselling Queen of Black Country sagas is back with a heart-breaking tale of friendship, families and survival against the odds. 
  Thirteen-year-old Alice Truelove can’t take another day of her father’s cruelty. 
  Better a life on the streets than being constantly blamed for her mother’s sad death, or that’s what Alice thinks as she packs up her meagre possessions. But fending for herself in the Black Country town of Wednesbury is not as easy as she expected, and it soon hits her that without help she will quickly be hungry and cold. 
  Bertram Jordan, or BJ to his friends, became an orphan much too young after his parents were stolen away by influenza. Growing up on the streets has not been easy, but BJ has learnt to survive, and when he meets Alice, alone and desperate, he’s happy to take her under his wing. 
  As Alice learns the tricks of the pick-pocketer, the best ways to charm the stallholders on the market and the skills to get by, the two children become firm friends. So, when BJ makes a fatal mistake, Alice can’t bear the thought that she might lose her only friend – forever… 
  A heartbreaking novel that will keep you turning the pages long into the night. Perfect for all fans of Katie Flynn, Val Wood and Lyn Andrews.
