Once a workhouse girl, always a workhouse girl...
Enid Hardcastle has always had a hard life, but when her family can't make ends meet and are moved to the workhouse, it feels like things can't get any worse.
But luckily for Enid, her friendship with local boy Jimmy gives her the strength she needs. Also from the cold, hard streets of Merthyr, Jimmy has made his name as an entrepreneur, repairing boots and hand-delivering them to the fine people of the town.
Enid has seen for herself that you can make a better life for yourself, so with Jimmy's help, she sets about trying to save her family.
But there are even darker places than the workhouse, and as the rumour mill churns, it appears there's an even more dangerous fate she will need to avoid...
An emotional and nostalgic historical saga that will have you turning pages, engrossed. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Lynn Johnson.
