Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
1950s Liverpool. In the tight-knit Irish Catholic community of the Four Streets, two girls are growing up. One is motherless--and hated by the cold woman who is determined to take her dead mother's place. The other is hiding a dreadful secret which she dare not let slip to anyone, lest it rips the heart out of the community. What can the people of the Four Streets do when a betrayal at the very heart of their world comes to light?
Prequel to Hide her name.
Heart-breaking, gripping, life-affirming, this story, based on the author's own childhood background, is set in the Catholic community in 1950s Liverpool, where young men and women, fleeing the poverty of rural Ireland, have come to seek a better life. The people of the Four Streets will work together, and they will laugh together. They will grieve together when tragedy unexpectedly strikes, leaving a young father to bring up his daughter alone. And they will stick together through hell and high water when a betrayal at the very heart of their community comes to light and must be avenged. This is the Four Streets, where loyalty and love are more powerful than poverty and hardship and where nothing is stronger than friendship.
