Description
The River Folk is a story of Lincolnshire life in the inter-war years, set against the backdrop of a young woman's struggles and triumphs. Mary Ann Clark's life has always been tough, shaped by her difficult home circumstances.
But when she meets 'Battling Bessie Ruddick', her world begins to change. As she grows into an attractive young woman, Mary Ann yearns for love and connection, and finds it in the form of Dan, Bessie's son. However, her marriage is not without its challenges, and Mary Ann must navigate the demands of life at sea.
Tragedy strikes when Mary Ann disappears, leaving behind a young daughter, Lizzie, who must find the strength to care for her father and follow in Dan's footsteps by the river. As Lizzie grows up, she begins to realize that her own path is fraught with similar challenges to those of her mother.
