Kate Spencer and her best friend Monica Parry have plenty to keep them busy – their boisterous young families seem to need constant supervision, and it’s not easy running their Liverpool households on the meagre wages their husbands bring in. But the plight of a neighbour’s teenage daughter soon brings home to them just how lucky they are. Seventeen-year-old Margaret Blackmore is pregnant, and her boyfriend insists he can’t be the father.
Unable to stand by and watch while a young life is ruined, Kate and Monica determine to help poor Margaret if they can. Is her boyfriend telling the truth? And if so, who on earth is responsible? The local busybody, Winnie Cartwright, may be able to provide the answer...

About The Author
Joan Jonker was born and bred in Liverpool. Her childhood was a time of love and laughter with her two sisters, a brother, a caring but gambling father and an indomitable mother who was always getting them out of scrapes. Then came the Second World War - a period that Joan remembers so well - when she met and fell in love with her late husband, Tony, while out with friends at Liverpool's St George's Hotel in Lime Street.
For twenty-three years, Joan campaigned tirelessly on behalf of victims of violence, and her first book, Victims of Violence, is an account of those years.
