A warm-hearted rags-to-riches East End saga, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Maggie Hope.

Can this East End girl find a better life?

Born in a tenement on the Isle of Dogs, Jessie has higher hopes for her future. When she manages to land a job at the Telephone Exchange, her earnings allow her to join the choir at the People's Palace. There, she catches the eye of the charming James Medway who sweeps her off her feet.

But married life isn't a bed of roses, and when Jessie falls pregnant it quickly becomes clear that James is far from the doting husband she'd hoped for. Can Jessie find a way to stay strong for her baby?

A heart-warming and gripping East End Saga, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Maggie Hope.
