TILLY TRUE

'I aint always going to be poor, I made me mind up to that.' Dismissed from her position as housemaid under a cloud of misunderstanding, Tilly True is forced to return home but she is determined to make something of her life. Rather than admit the truth to her poverty-stricken family, she sets out once more in search of employment. Her journey takes her to the London law courts, a grim parsonage in one of the most notorious parts of the East End, and a house of ill-repute, but when she falls for the dangerous charms of Barnaby Palgrave, Tilly soon finds that her troubles have only just begun. Always a good story and a great ending with this author. 518pp, paperback, fairly large print.
