Everyone around Champion Street market loves Aunty Dot's homemade sweets and chocolates. And everyone loves Aunty Dot: the plump, smiling woman has provided a loving home for many a troubled child. Lizzie Pringle would do anything for her foster mother - even taking on local sweet manufacturer and bully, Cedric Finch. That is, until she falls for his son, Charlie ...Dena can't believe that Barry Holmes would hurt her beloved daughter: he's been like a favourite uncle to the little girl. But there's no smoke without fire. And they're all soon to discover that chocolate can be bitter, as well as sweet ...

Reviews

'You can't put a price on Freda Lightfoot's stories from Manchester's 1950s Champion Street Market. They bubble with enough life and colour to brighten up the dreariest day and they have characters you can easily take to your heart.'
Northern Echo on THAT

'LL BE THE DAY 'A consummate storyteller who delivers the perfect blend of drama, romance and historical detail.'
Historical Novels Review on FOR ALL OUR TOMORROWS

'The kind of character-driven saga that delights the Catherine Cookson and Josephine Cox audience.'
Peterborough Evening Telegraph on RUBY MCBRIDE


About the Author

Freda Lightfoot Freda Lightfoot was born and brought up in the mill towns of Lancashire.  She always dreamed of becoming a writer but this was considered a rather exotic ambition.   She has been a teacher, bookseller and smallholder but began her writing career by publishing over forty short stories and articles and five historical romances.  Her family sagas draw upon memories of her own Lancashire childhood, and on the years she lived in the English Lake District bringing up her family.  She still has a flat in the Lakes and a house in a small mountain village in Spain.
