From Booklist:
Sixteen-year-old Maggie Bailey has a hard life. Her father, horribly changed by his experiences in the Great War, is a drunk who continually lashes out at her mother even as her mother defends him and gives him all her money. The continuing conflict leaves her brother Robin sick and terrified. Maggie dreams of a better life, but working two jobs in London’s Docklands to support her whole family leaves her little time for self-improvement. In one moment, everything changes: furious with her father for attacking her mother again, she throws a pot of scalding water on him in self-defense. Instantly Maggie’s life is irrevocably changed. Horrified by what she has done, Maggie tries to atone for her actions and works her hardest to become the good, responsible person she believes she can be, but it’s a long, difficult road with many more trials ahead. This winding tale of a life of hard knocks offers an inspirational look at one young girl’s strength and perseverance. --Hilary Hatton
