Synopsis

Sunny Ducrow follows a brave, quick‑witted girl who dreams beyond the street where she works. In a world of hard work and big ambitions, Sunny uses grit, charm, and a keen eye for opportunity to shape her future.

Set among working‑class life in postwar England, the story centers on Sunny’s determination to break free from poverty. With help from a patient mentor and loyal friends, she pursues education, stage work, and new chances, even as she navigates love, loyalty, and the temptations of a glamorous world.

Readers will watch Sunny turn obstacles into stepping stones, learn lessons about resilience, and witness how one person’s courage can ripple through a circle of friends and family. The book blends character warmth with a brisk, cinematic pace that keeps the focus on choice, consequence, and growth.

• Follow Sunny’s early days, from a tough street to a path toward opportunity.


• Meet the quiet strength of mentors and the power of friendships that shape a life.


• Experience moments of ambition, humor, and emotional honesty as Sunny strives for more.


• See how big dreams test loyalties and redefine what home can mean.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character‑driven drama about perseverance, community, and the pursuit of a better life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

English home, I sit, pen in hand, yet a little hesitating, greatly anxious, vainly trying to call to mind some high-sounding phrases, some eloquent utterances, with which I may make appeal to the great heart of the American people, to whom I am unknown and a stranger, and yet I take comfort in the thought that to the stranger the kindly American was ever hospitable. So dear unknown American reader, I claim from you, with confidence, your hospitality, and still though I am but a stranger, I feel that I may perhaps have a little claim on your generosity through one dead these many years, one very dear to me in life, dear always in my memory. He lived among you for many years, when the nineteenth century was yet in her teens, he sang of you and of your country songs that many of you remember hearing your Fathers sing: these old songs with their pleasant memories, To the West, Oh Woodman Spare thai Tree, A Life on the Ocean Wave, Cheer, Boys, Cheer, Mighty Niagara, and many and many more. And because he, my dear old grandfather, Henry Russell, knew you and loved you and lived among you for so long, perhaps I feel no such great stranger after all. This little book of mine is a simple story, aspiring to no great literary flight, yet perhaps as you turn its pages, it may here and there win a smile from your lips, perhaps and to me, a greater triumph it may to some kind eye bring a tear.
