She made a assurance, but can she keep it? When Lucy Patterson offers her dying mother that she'll leave the comfortable home they've shared with her mother's company, Stanley Jones, to visit and live with her Aunt Flo on the far side of the Mersey, she has no notion of the terrible consequences. Life with the Flanagans in the slums of Liverpool, and Lucy's new job in a factory, are completely different from the planet she has known. Mocked by her cousins and the ladies she works together with, and terrified by the brutality of her uncle and the unwelcome attentions of her cousin Frank, Lucy is desperately unhappy. And 1 day, the most detrimental happens and Lucy finds herself homeless, friendless and destitute. It seems there's only one person in the world eager to help her. But can she break her assurance to her mother? Or should she accept that there's only one place a woman in her situation can go?
