Heartbreaking, gripping, and life-affirming, this story, based on Nadine's own childhood background, is set in the Catholic community in 1950s Liverpool, where young men and women, fleeing the poverty of rural Ireland, have come to seek a better life. Jerry and Bernadette are determined to better themselves for the sake of their children--except that the plan goes wrong and Jerry is left alone to bring up their daughter. Can his broken spirit be mended by the warmth and love of the people of the Four Streets? Not since Jeffrey Archer burst on to the scene has a celebrity MP produced such a commercial first novel.
