Polly
- Pride’s
- life
- is
- falling
- apart.

- husband

- to
- feed.With
- the
- prospect
- of
- poverty
- looming
- over
- her,
- and
- her
- husband

- apathy,
- Polly
- takes
- control.

- sells
- everything
- they
- own
- and
- buys
- a
- rickety
- old
- handcart.
- Polly
- piles
- it
- high
- with
- second-hand
- rugs
- and
- spends
- hours
- hawking
- her
- wares
- around
- Manchester’s
- cobbled
- streets.But
- her
- determination
- to
- persevere
- will
- be
- tested
- to
- its
- limits,
- as
- she
- juggles
- her
- work,
- the
- pressures
- of
- her
- young
- family,
- and
- her
- husband’s
- wounded
- pride.
- Will
- her
- life
- fall
- apart
- completely
- –
- especially
- when
- tragedy
- strikes
- –
- or
- can
- she
- keep
- it
- together?A
- compelling
- story
- of
- a
- woman
- making
- her
- way
- in
- a
- man’s
- world,
- perfect
- for
- fans
- of
- Sheila
- Riley,
- Maggie
- Ford
- and
- Rosie Harris.
