Book description
Imprisoned in a false 'marriage' and trapped in Glasgow's mean streets,
Kirsty and Craig Nicholson are drifting apart, held together only by
their son, Bobby. Kirsty finds herself drawn more and more to David
Lockhart, the young minister who cares for her deeply. But David is
bound to return to China and only his love for Kirsty keeps him in
Scotland. Craig, now a committed policeman, is incensed by the behaviour
of his family when they fall under the influence of a rich and generous
patron, and seeks solace in the arms of a street woman from the burgh's
dark slums. His growing obsession with her threatens not only Kirsty,
but the future of his family too . . . 'Another successful Jessica
Stirling...evocative...an enjoyable read' Born in Glasgow, Jessica
Stirling is the author of many heartwarming novels, most of which have
Scottish backgrounds. She has enjoyed a highly successful career since
THE SPOILED EARTH was published in 1974.
