Description

Ruby and Grace have grown up in the poorest slums of Hull, their lives intertwined by friendship and family secrets. As they navigate the challenges of adulthood, they find themselves at the centre of a world where poverty and injustice are ever-present. The local cotton mill, where they've worked since childhood, now holds a new kind of power - and a tempting promise of escape. As times grow harder, the girls face difficult choices. For Ruby, the allure of a better life is tempting, but at what cost? Meanwhile, Grace becomes increasingly involved in campaigns against poverty and injustice, her determination to make a difference driving her forward. Will they find a way to escape their circumstances, or will the price of their dreams be too high to pay? Val Wood's heart-warming story of triumph over adversity is a powerful exploration of the human spirit. With fully-fleshed characters and a gripping narrative, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves stories of resilience and hope.
