Paperback / softback

Description

For sixteen-year-old Lizzie McDougall, life in the Glasgow tenements comes as a culture shock after her sheltered upbringing in the Highlands.

But for her father, who has just lost his job in the tiny town of Tomintoul, Glasgow offers employment.

Her new life enables Lizzie to work in a factory as a seamstress - and it opens her horizons to new friends as well.

Especially the spirited Pearl, who introduces Lizzie to her boyfriend Willie, and her cousin, the handsome, happy-go-lucky Jack - a real bobby-dazzler . . . It's not just Lizzie who faces temptation in the big city.

Her father Doogie, also working in a factory, is exposed to it in the shape of the buxom Daisy.

He moved here for the sake of his family's future, but now he's in danger of throwing that future away.
