I can get bored very easily reading sometimes, or my mind wanders! This book totally grabbed my attention though, from start to end. My heart went out to Daisy, she had endured such a hard life and given up so much, so young. The wicked step mother storyline kept the story ticking over. There really was no limit to Vera's wickedness! Absolutely lovely ending which left a tear to my eye. A grounded true to life story with a happy ending like you wouldn't imagine. Buy this book!

I really enjoyed this book although it was a bit drawn out in places. A very sad and emotional story of a young girl but all came good in the end.
