Clogs for a Lightfoot
This dramatic saga follows the lives, loves, tragedies and triumphs of one family over 150 years.
Central characters are Thelma Lightfoot, headstrong, beautiful daughter, and Eli Lightfoot, poor country boy self-made into multi millionaire and intolerant father. Husbands, wives, children, grandchildren, war and peace, poverty and wealth, passion and fear, good fortune and bad, all figure in a tale that twists and turns and takes you back in time to see how it really was. In fact, it's a genuine saga.
The story is partly, initially and loosely based on the real life of Jesse Boot and the Boot family, builders of the Boots the Chemist empire of a thousand shops.
