In this honest and moving memoir, Marilyn Hardy recounts the trials and tribulations of her an impoverished childhood in a northern mining town; the difficult relationship with her undemonstrative mother and her beloved father's death. In adulthood, she was married to a violent man and struggled to bring up her three children alone with her own serious health problems. Latterly, she has found true happiness with her third husband, Richard, and the joy that her eleven grandchildren bring her. Marilyn writes with grace and candour, and with such closely observed descriptions of times past that the reader feels transported to another era.
