‘Dad, it’s the happiest day of my life,’ Kate said, ‘I wish time would stand still and it could be today forever.’
Vs June 1897, and Kate is celebrating her eleventh birthday on the day ot Queen Victoria s Diamond Jubilee. But Kate’s joy is shortlived for tragedy strikes and, before long, her family is evicted from their home in Ancoats, Manchester. With no wages coming in, a mother unable to cope, and the threat of her siblings being split up, Kate has to grow up fast.
hrough the ensuing journey of hope and heartache Kate learns to fight against the odds with determination. An indomitable spirit and bright sense of humour help her to survive the hardships of the workhouse and the sorrows and losses suffered during the Great War. But will they be enough
to eventually bring her the happiness she lost as a child?
