This is the first book by this author that I've read and it was an ok read. Kind of Catherine Cookson style.Back Cover Blurb:An independent, bonnie lass, Katy flees the drunken wrath of her father and gets a job with the Ashleigh family in a warehouse in Newcastle upon Tyne. But when young Charles pays her attention, Katy is forced to work for a dishonest haulage company in Sunderland.Rescued by a glamorous but evil conman, Katy once more finds herself on the streets, this time with child. She is taken in by Matt Ballard who runs a rival haulage company. But trouble lies ahead.
