Born into the bleak industrial heartland of Tyneside in 1906, an illegitimate child with the courage to escape and discover her true self, denies her people, reaches rock bottom, and then writes her way back into their hearts as Catherine Cookson. Illustrated with 25 striking personal photographs, this is the REAL Jarrow Lass of Janet MacLeod Trotter's bestselling trilogy, the ultimate rags-to-riches romance delivered hard-edged by folk who lived in the same street as Catherine as a child and knew first-hand the pain that hardship and alienation brings.

A powerful story and Piers Dudgeon tells it with skill and feeling --Daily Telegraph
Piers Dudgeon is a publisher and the author of 30 works of non-fiction. He knew Catherine Cookson from 1984 until her death in 1998 and interviewed her at length. When she died she left him a collection of tapes which she made to elaborate on many of the subjects they discussed, and seven solid silver awards given to her by her publishers to mark the multi-million sales of her novels.
