Well this wonderful
story is written by one of my all-time favourite authors, so when one of her
books comes out the book always has to queue jumps to the top of my very large
to read pile of books !!!!
In this wonderful
tale involves friendship, relationships and Christmas crackers. We meet Tabby
who is a very trusting person, so when
she catches her boss running a scum in his wine business that she has worked for
some time ,she believes that he will stop he has seen the error of his ways
!!!! Tabby confided this information in a person whom she thought was a friend
but that so called friend stabbed her in the back and information an undercover
reporter of the information she received and set Tabby up... The Judge did not
believe that Tabby was not at the centre of the scam and choose to listen to
the information given and that she was having an affair with her boss she look
guilty as sin on paper but really all she was guilty of was not telling the
right people when she found out what her boss was doing!!!
Tabby was
sent to prison for 8 long months have a few months she is sent to an open
prison and starts to receive visits from a gentle old man from Quaker he sits
and listens and they become her life line to the outside world. Then one day he
doesn’t show open but instead he sends a fairy godmother in the form of Mercy a
little old lady with the zest for life and is about to change Tabby’s life for
the better.
Mercy offers
her a job as her Pa for her cracker business while is on the tagging system for
the rest of her sentence. From the minuet she meet Mercy she was drawn to her
but could not understand why this wonderful woman was opening her home up and
offering her a life line. It was in Mercy nature to help it has been in her
family for years and she had been doing for years but in the process has taken
a toll on the family cracker business and its starting to slip away, her nephew
Kandel her only heir as she and her late
husband where not blessed with children. As a plan to save the business, it’s
just not what Mercy wants and needs someone on her side to sail the ship in the
right direction for future generations and hopes that Tabby will be the one to
do this. Mercy family have given out they home to ex-cons for generations as
that was the Quaker way and Tabby is its latest member.
Once Tabby
was release into Mercy care her first port of call was to find out where her ex
had homed her cat, but on his doorstep she realizes that her so called friend
