In the darkness of the Great War, can she create a brighter future?
Martha Owen has not had an easy start in life. Her abusive father
dominates the family and she has lost her only friend after a
painful falling-out. Her father’s reliance on the bottle, and his
increasingly violent temper, brings turmoil for Martha, her mother
and her three siblings and with World War One causing more strain
on the home front, her prospects look bleak. With no money or
qualifications to speak of, starting a job at the Potteries feels
like a lifeline, but Martha finds herself wanting more than the
production line job she works on. Her one talent is her artistic
flair, but will this be enough to help her rise the ranks at
Paradise Pottery and make a future for herself? And can she ever
escape her father’s dark shadow over her? An uplifting and moving
saga from the author of the bestselling Wartime with the Tram
Girls. Fans of Nancy Revell and Rosie Hendry will be captivated.
