Down Lambeth Way Mary Jane Staples

On the eve of war, can she and her family pull through?

The Adams family were poor, cheerful and, above all, respectable.

There was Mrs Adams, a widow having lost her husband in the Boer War; Boots, the bright one; Tommy, the quiet one; Sammy, a wheeler dealer in the making; and Lizzy. Lizzy was a real pearl - one of the prettiest girls in Walworth.

Then Lizzy falls in love it is 1914. War is coming, and everyone is going to be affected. Will the Adams family - gutsy, tough and cheeky - pull through?

Down Lambeth Way is the first in Mary Jane Staples' Adams Family series. Their story continues in Our Emily.
