Footsteps In The Park

Footsteps In The Park

Summary

It was a Lancashire mill town in the grim years of the Depression - a town divided between the haves and the have-nots, between families like the mill-owning Boltons and the millworking Armstrongs. But Dorothy Bolton was determined to cross that chasm and risk everything for the love of Stanley Armstrong. Even if it meant choosing sides.
