Pure as the Lily

Catherine Cookson

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Mary Walton was the apple of her father’s eye.

Once he was a man who had held his head high with Geordie pride; now his only hope was that Mary would escape from the grinding poverty of the Tyneside slums that had held him a prisoner for so many years.

But then something happened to Mary that shattered all his dreams of her future – an event that was to tear a family apart and change their lives for generations to follow...
