The Bakery Girl

Formats & Editions

Sunderland, 1902

Orphan Rose Lumley lives with her alcoholic uncle Stan, thieving aunt Bea and fiercely protective Granny in the slums of Sunderland's East End. She works tirelessly to make ends meet but when the family is struck by tragedy, Rose steps up to support her beloved Granny in the only way she knows how.

Rose has inherited her Granny's fighting spirit and, following in her late mam's footsteps, she demonstrates an exceptional talent for baking. Soon Rose has persuaded Jim and Florrie Hart to take her on permanently at their bakery, where her mam used to work. Determined to repay the Harts' kindness, Rose embarks on an adventure that will change their fortunes for ever.
