Book description
Mary McGann's marriage has always been difficult, thanks to her husband
Frank's drunken, jealous nature. Only because the little money he earns
in the docks keeps food in the mouths of their children is Mary prepared
to put up with him. But when Frank throws them all out on the street,
Mary flees to her family in Dublin. There she meets Richard O'Neill, a
handsome though solitary man. Despite the attraction between them,
Mary's not looking for love, and when she hears that Frank needs her,
she returns to Liverpool, foreseeing a future of yet more hardship. But
there are surprises in store. Though tragedy and danger are looming, a
brighter horizon lies beyond - if Mary's prepared to be strong and take
the chances that come her way.
