Summary

Nessie Carson will do anything to keep her family together after her mother is killed, her father abandons them and they are evicted from their cosy little Nuneaton home. She and her brothers and sisters take on jobs as live-in assistants to a local undertaker. 

She is soon entwined in fortunes of her employer, Andre, who is forced to live a lie, and the local doctor - someone she's attracted to but can never have. But even in the darkest of times and saddest of places, when you're as spirited as Nessie Carson, there is light, love and the promise of happiness if you're only brave enough to search for it....

The Blessed Child

What a great book. One of the best I have read. So good to get a epilogue at the end. And so beautifully read.

Outstanding

What a an outstanding story. Very sad at times, but what a amazing ending twists and turns out how the story should be. I recommend everyone to listen or read the book. Well done to the author and the performance to the boo, that done it justice. Every word was clearly spoken and read very well.

Thank you to all, so I’ll be looking forward to the next audiobook by this author once again.

Story, Narration, Characters, everything amazing

This series goes from fantastic to phenomenal and I never want them to end. Narration is superb, so ignore those who say otherwise.

Simply a must.
