Freda Lightfoot (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2006 | Series: Champion Street Market

In 1950s Manchester, folk are just emerging from the shadow of the war. Money is still tight, and the bustling market is a source of tempting bargains—as well as the local gossip. Dena loves her Saturday job at the market cafe, and her smile makes her a universal favorite. The cafe owner has fancier ambitions for her son than a mere waitress, but then Dena falls pregnant and everyone's plans change.
