Liverpool Daisy

Timeless family drama from the best-selling author of Tuppence to Cross the Mersey. With over 3 million copies sold around the world, Helen Forrester’s hard-hitting and gripping fiction, set in Liverpool during the Depression, continues to move readers.

After the death of her mother, Daisy Gallagher supports her struggling family while her best friend Nellie O’Brian is dying for lack of medical attention.

Desperate for money, Daisy turns to the darkened streets of pre-war Liverpool, filled with drunken sailors, and makes a terrible sacrifice. Through strength and suffering, she earns enough to support those who need her help.

Daisy’s friends and family know nothing of her new occupation. But, as her husband returns from the sea, can it remain hidden much longer?
