'A tear jerker but I did not want to put it down . . . I had to find out what would happen!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
She has left her old life behind, but can you ever really escape your past?
Catherine (known as Kitty) is seventeen, restless and rebellious. She is determined to rise above her wretched surroundings and make a better life for herself. Her job at the Workhouse laundry only fuels the fire inside her and Catherine embarks on a quest for knowledge.
Soon the ill-educated and streetwise Kitty McMullen is a ghost from the past, and the well-spoken, well-read Catherine leaves the north-east to follow her dreams.
But hardship and heartbreak are not far behind, and when she comes home to find answers, she must face up to her past.
Can she find the strength and hope to build a bright new future?
