 When Hetty Huggins made a promise to her dying mother that
she would look after her younger sister and brothers, little did she know how difficult
this would be. But despite the threat of being turned out onto the streets by the

Longing for something better out of life than the daily grind of making matchboxes

she sells hot potatoes on the streets and things begin to look up for them all.
But when the tallyman comes calling, they are faced once more with a future full
of hardship and despair...
