Description
Glasgow in the 1950s was a city marked by poverty and violence. For Meg Henderson, this was a childhood shaped by hardship and resilience. Her mother and aunt, Peggy, played a crucial role in shielding her from the effects of her father's struggles with addiction. Peggy's own life was one of hope and heartbreak. She searched for love until late in life, only to face a harsh and unhappy marriage. The loss of her daughter at childbirth left a devastating impact on the family, destroying Meg's childhood and leaving her with questions about the past. It wasn't until much later, after the death of her own mother, that Meg discovered the shocking truth behind Peggy's tragic fate.
