Book description
The Lennox women are strong women. But life is hard in the Scottish mining village of Craigie, and it becomes tougher still for Ina Lennox when tragedy strikes at the pit. She must struggle to bring up her family alone, and as destitution comes ever closer, she can only find one way to keep the wolf from the door – a way which outrages the close Scottish community.
Her daughter Evelyn is determined to escape Craigie. She marries the one man who dreams of something more – and finds herself as trapped as her mother, with a work shy husband and four small children. When her daughter, Mary, is left to fill her shoes, she too yearns for a better lie. Can Mary, as the third generation of Lennox women, break free of the legacy of hardship and heartache…?
