A woman torn between love & duty.
Two husbands dead, a boy & a sick man. Now Katharine is free to make her own choice.
...
Born into the bleak industrial heartland of Tyneside in 1906, an illegitimate child with the courage to escape & discover her true self, denies her people, reaches rock bottom, & then writes her way back into their hearts as Catherine Cookson. Illustrated with 25 striking personal photographs, this is the REAL Jarrow Lass of Janet Mac Leod Trotter's bestselling trilogy, the ultimate rags-to-riches romance delivered hard-edged by folk who lived in the same street as Catherine as a child & knew first-hand the pain that hardship & alienation brings.
