Times are hard in 1960's Wallsend, North Tyneside. Cola miner Fred
Slater has lost his wife to cancer, leaving him to raise his
10-year-old son Tom and teenage daughter Betsy. Keeping a promise
to her dying mother, to look after her brother and dad, Betsy has
to grow up quickly... starting with her first job. Taken under the
wing of her first boss, Betsy learns to juggle workplace challenges
and household chores. With a charming naivety, she struggles with
family commitments and her emotions, especially with that of her
first love - Sam. But is Betsy brave enough to take risks and move
on in her life...? This heart-warming and engaging tale,
beautifully capturing the lives of down-to-earth folk, is quite
simply a joy to read!
