In for a penny - Lynda Page

Since the death of her husband May Jeffries has struggled to provide for her only child, Jenny.
Even now that Jenny's working in a Leicester china shop, things are not easy.
Jenny thinks that part of the problem could be the good-for-nothing men that her mother can't seem to resist, and she's delighted when May finally sees the true colours of her latest flame and throws him out.
But when he turns up at the china shop and loses Jenny her job it seems their troubles are far from over.
And when a sudden thunderstorm forces her to take shelter in a furniture warehouse on the way home things seem worse than ever.
But good fortune comes when you least expect it...
