The first book in a new Blackpool-Set trilogy from bestselling saga author Mary Wood, writing as Maggie Mason.
Tilly has come a long way from the run-down tenements in which she grew up. She has a small but comfortable home, a loving, handsome husband, two beautiful little’uns, and she earns herself a little money weaving wicker baskets. Life is good.
Until the day Tilly returns home to find a policeman standing on her doorstep. Her Arthur won’t be coming home tonight – nor any night – having fallen to his death whilst working on Blackpool tower. Suddenly Tilly is her daughters’ sole protector, and she’s never felt more alone.
With the threat of destitution nipping at their heels, Tilly struggles to make ends meet and keep a roof over her girls’ head. In a town run by men Tilly has to ask herself what she’s willing to do to keep her family together and safe – and will it be enough?

My Review
Once again Mary Wood, writing as Maggie Mason, has kicked off what promises to be a wonderful new series. This book just makes you want to keep reading as the heroine copes with some unbelievably cruel blows that fate deals her. Yet throughout, and despite making mistakes, she is the kind of person everybody would hope to be their friend. Her loyalty and generosity know no bounds where friendship is concerned and although the book is not so cliched as to have an unrealistic happy ending, she does find contentment and a new beginning. I can't wait to see what the next book offers.
