Another wonderful instalment of Beamer Street!
Dar and Peggy Tenant’s great plans that have been in the pipeline for years are suddenly thrown into disarray when Dar has a terrible accident at work on the docks. This forces Peggy to rethink her plans and lifestyle, being a rather proud woman doesn’t make it easy for her kindly caring neighbours. When Peggy does reach out it’s to the most unlikely person, sister Violet who has always mocked Peggy for wanting to move up in the world. Meanwhile daughter Millie is worried about her mother so goes to neighbour Ellie Newman who then tries to help in a roundabout way.
Dar is receiving treatment at Lavender Green which is some distance away and treatment costly which drains the Tenant finances. When help comes from a secret benefactor , which is a surprise when revealed, along with other reveals along the way.

One of the beauties of this series is that while some characters are in several books, they can be standalone too.
I love the warm community spirit on the street, well maybe not Ina who continues to niggle. I do enjoy a story involving a strong woman.
My favourite character was Peggy, least favourite is definitely Miles.

I do hope there is another in the series.

Dreaming of a better life.
Peggy Tennant and husband Dar have been saving what they can all their married life now it's 1926 in Liverpool they are going to the bank to become the proud owners of number three Beamer Street at long last.
Dar had a good job at Hutton Logistics as the best stevedores even during the big strike along with their son Jack they can't afford to lose two wages and Peggy couldn't care less what the neighbours think she grew up as a hungry child and her family are not ever going to be in that situation.
But then her dreams are shattered, Dar has a accident at work that will lay him up for months if ever a full recovery ahead from the hospital to a centre that has to be payed and takes all their savings away.
With four mouths to feed and rent to pay Peggy has no choice but to take on full time work at the docks cleaning and polishing the ships even takes on nightshifts that is hard graft. For better or worse in sickness and in health there's no stopping Peggy as she starts to save up again and getting the house put to rights for Dar to come home.
Family Ties is what it is, such an emotional read to pull at your heartstrings in every chapter, I loved following Peggy's journey a wife mum and a full time hard worker as this family all pull together in hard times.
Beautiful just beautiful.
