Mary Wood always draws you into the story to travel the road her characters take,Elsie,Dot and Millie are three very different young girls with a thirst for life.Lovely book well worth the 5*

The first book in the series, and we meet Elsie Makin the year is 1910, and Swift's Jam Factory in Bermondsey, London, is her place of work, along side her best friend Dot Grimes. Jam Jar washing and sorting out the fruit, it was a heavy workload.
Millie Millicent Hawkesfield's is the bosses daughter, wanting to know the jam trade, and the three struck up a secret friendship.
Elsie lives with her three brothers and her mum Kitty and they were barely scraping by.
but what trouble lays ahead for them all?
This book has everything rolled into one, secrets, heartache sorrow and joy, it has your emotions running all over the place.
As i kept reading, I found myself saying just one more chapter, it pulls you into the whole book, as so much is happening.
i've enjoyed Elsie Dot and Millie's story so much, a delight to read with a Jam and cream scone and a cup of "Rosie lee".
