A saga from the author of LIVING A LIE and THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, in which a poverty-stricken and pregnant young woman befriends a scruffy urchin when she flees from her home into the depths of the Bedfordshire countryside.
Josephine Cox was born in a cotton-mill house in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. Her strong, gritty stories are taken from the tapestry of life.
