Becky Taylor is born the last of seven children into a poor working class family during the heyday of the Industrial Revolution.

But in spite of the hardships, Becky grows up in a family full of warmth, loyalty and determination.

Spanning twenty, this is at once a family saga and a story of the indomitable working class spirit; it is also the story of a beautiful women who is determined to rise about her origins and lead a better life. Her challenge is to achieve her dreams without losing the friends and family to whom she owes everything.
