“The third volume in the classic story of Helen Forrester's
childhood and adolescence in poverty-stricken Liverpool
during the 1930s.
Helen has managed to achieve a small measure of
independence. At seventeen, she has fought and won two bitter battles with her
parents, the first for the right to educate herself at evening classes, the
second for the right to go out to work. Her parents are still as financially
irresponsible as ever, wasting money while their children lack blankets, let
alone proper beds, but for Helen the future is brightening as she begins to make
friends her own age and to develop some social life outside the home. At
twenty, still never kissed by a lover, Helen meets Harry, a strong, tall
seaman, and falls in love.”
