Summary
Can two friends find hope in hard times?
Ruby and Grace have grown up in the poorest slums of Hull. Friends since early childhood, they have supported each other in bad times and good. But their families are bound together by more than friendship, and secrets from the past threaten to make their lives even more difficult.
The local cotton mill has provided work for Ruby and Grace since they were nine years old, and now, years later, both girls find themselves the objects of attention from the mill owner's sons. As times grow harder and money ever scarcer, Grace becomes involved in campaigns against poverty and injustice while Ruby is tempted into prostitution.
The two girls are searching for something that could take them far away...but what price will they pay to find it?
If you like books by Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love Val's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity.

Ann Dover never fails!
Another absorbing novel, which is so informative, of years gone by. Such a lovely, unpredictable romance too. Wonderful.

Intriguing story
I spent my time listening to this book during periods of insomnia and glad for once that I couldn't sleep. A really good book

The life of working folk
I really loved this book. As a socialist, I have always looked back in history to the lot of working folk especially women. Things are, certainly much better now but there is still room for more improvement.

A delightful story
Absolutely loved listening to this book. I felt the up and downs the sorrow and hardship of the people. Then the delight as things took a turn for the better. A truly engrossing novel that I would highly recommend.

I didn't want this book to end. A story of poverty and riches. I love Val Woods books.

ONE OF THE BEST.....
One of the best books I've listened to, such a wonderful story, the characters are so endearing and Ann Dover (the narrator) just brings them all to life, really didn't want it to end I enjoyed that much.
A very heartwarming read that I recommend to you all.
