Summary
A dramatically powerful and romantic saga of tragedy and triumph, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.
'Any rag and bone!'
Everyone recognises the cry of Meg Sutcliffe as she plies her trade along the back streets of Ryhope. She learnt the ropes from her dad when he returned from the war. But when tragedy struck, Meg had no choice but to continue alone, with only her trusty dog, Spot, and beloved horse, Stella, for company.
Now the meagre money she earns is the only thing that stands between her family's safety and predatory rent collector Hawk Jackson....
Many say it's no job for a woman - especially a beauty like Meg, who's noticed everywhere she goes. When she catches the eye of charming Clarky, it looks like she might have found a protector and a chance of happiness. But is Clarky really what he seems? And could Adam, Meg's loyal childhood friend, be the one who really deserves her heart?
Look out for Glenda's next compelling saga, The Tuppenny Child.

Glenda Young excellent writer
A very different type of story. About poor people in the olden days. Soft and sweet. Makes you really feel that though life was very had in those days life was still worth something, and people appreciated any good that came there way. Pity more people these days were like it. We all take too much for granted

Easy listening
A lovely book which as it progressed I couldn't put down. I'd heard about this author from a radio program and thought I'd try one of her books. Really good read.
