A book full of real life, working class stories from pre war and post war Clydeside in Glasgow, told through the eyes of Bessie & Nancy (a mother and daughter), starting over a century ago until present day. A very detailed account of life through a range of different life experiences over that time. An amazing book, written from the heart of the authors.
A resident Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Nancy Barr grew up in the tiny town of Rapid River nestled at the top of Little Bay de Noc. Her favorite memories as a young child are of weekly trips to the neighborhood library with her late mother to spend hours poring over books of all kinds. Her love of reading and writing led her to a career in newspaper journalism where she spent several years covering police, courts, schools and local governments and now works at Michigan Technological University. An animal aficionado, she lives on the Keweenaw Peninsula with three demanding, but lovable, cats. When not writing, Nancy enjoys hiking and photographing the natural beauty that abounds in the Upper Peninsula. Her novels include "Page One: Hit and Run" (July 2006, Arbutus Press) and "Page One: Vanished" (May 2007, Arbutus Press). She is a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America."
