From Booklist
Sixteen-year-old Bridget O'Rourke does everything she can to keep her family safe, but with a 19-year-old brother always in trouble with the law, a 17-year-old sister of loose morals, a 6-year-old brother with tuberculosis, a missing dad, and a drunken and abusive mother, her work is cut out for her. Three possible suitors come into play--a toff who saves her from a rapist, the boy she has always thought she would marry, and her brother's hardworking employer. Bridget steps up to the plate and shoulders responsibility like one of Catherine Cookson's heroines. She shepherds her family through hard times and death, and is a survivor. Fans of melodramatic soap-opera romances will gobble this up and eagerly wait for the promised books in Sole's new trilogy. Diana Tixier Herald
