'What an emotional rollercoaster ride of a book! It grabs your attention from page one and does not let go until the end' - Sunderland Echo
Rosie Ferry is hardly more than a child when her father and brothers are lost in a pit disaster. She has to grow up fast when her mother falls apart, leaving Rosie in charge of her two sisters. It's Rosie who finds them lodgings, Rosie who tramps the streets looking for work. Without her friends Davey and Flora, Rosie doesn't know how she'd cope.
Then Davey - the boy Rosie always thought she'd marry - abruptly leaves Sunderland, and to make matters worse her mother turns to drink. It's almost more than she can bear, but Rosie is tougher than she looks, and she's determined to keep the family together.

Another excellent story from Rita Bradshaw. All about a young girl who's father died, her mother went to pieces and turned to drink. It left Rosie to support her mother and siblings. Also there was a man who wanted Rosie to be his and only his, and would go to whatever lengths it took to get what he wanted. Rosie manage to find lodgings for her family and eventually fell in love and married her landlord. This other man was very jealous and set out to murder Rosie's husband.. Also Rosie had another man who had strong feelings for her.
