Opis

This is a memoir of a Yorkshire miners daughter as told by her eldest child. It begins in 1944, when Mary is a child, and charts the pivotal moments in her life. The book is a celebration of Marys extraordinary attributes; she is a down-to-earth, working-class girl who spends her life caring for others. Her love has no limits and her strength and determination enables her to overcome her many challenges; she copes with poverty, loss and her husbands addiction as well as her own disability.It is told with humour and a spattering of Marys local dialect, and is a true reflection of the society in which she lived.
