Any Old Iron
For one young woman, life has been far from easy. But the biggest threat to her future happiness will be her own flesh and blood...
In Lynda Page's Any Old Iron , a young woman's devotion to her family can't prevent the heartache and tragedy that is in store for them all. Perfect for fans of Cathy Sharp and Katie Flynn.
Kelly McCallan has more than her fair share of worries. Her mother is dying and needs constant care; her father has returned to Leicester from the Second World War but is an emotional wreck; and her brother Mickey has turned to a life of crime that is putting the whole family at risk.
Kelly's boyfriend Rodney and his sister Glenda know that she's scared of what Micky might do next. But they turn a blind eye to her fears - with disastrous consequences for them all. When Kelly has lost everything she holds dear, she and Glenda pick up the pieces and start again. And one man in particular, Alec Alderman, is there when she needs him most. But Alec has problems of his own...

Good Read
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Should have been longer as I couldn't put it down! Very nostalgic and very heartwarming.
