Summary
In these tough times, the kindness of Eli Beckett, who offers Carrie a job at the Dragon pub, brings a glimmer of hope. With Eli’s uncle providing land for a music room, the community of Hedderby anticipates a new venue for joy and music.
However, not all townsfolk welcome this change; some harbour selfish intentions, threatening the promise of celebration and merriment that the music hall could bring.

Description
Carrie Preston is used to hard work—oldest of ten, with an incompetent mother and a drunken father, she struggles to find food for her siblings. But nothing could have prepared her for the day fate deals her family the cruellest of hands, rendering them more desperate than ever.
In a harsh world, small acts of kindness can bring great hope—Eli Beckett's offer of a job at the Dragon pub promises a better future for Carrie, especially as Eli's uncle has offered his nephew some spare land to build a music room.
With the great cities of England alive to the sound of music halls, the locals of Hedderby are soon looking forward to their own place of celebration and merriment. Yet not everyone in the town shares this excitement, and some will stop at nothing in the pursuit of selfish gain.

About the Author
Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia a while ago, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She has two grown-up daughters and lives with her husband in a spacious waterfront home. Often, as she writes, dolphins frolic outside the window of her office. Inside, the house is crammed with thousands of books.
