Pride of Paradise Lane: Black Country Saga set during WW1

By Lydia King and Susan Jones

Molly Marsden is in love with Issac, who has taught her all she knows in the Bloxwich and Walsall Hat Factory. Now he's dropped a bombshell; he's going to war, to fight for his country, leaving her to hold the fort while he's away. Can she keep the promise she's made to keep the business running while he's gone? How could he ask this of her, when all she wants is for things to carry on as normal with them loving and being together; like they had done for so long.
It was an unspoken given; they belonged together. Now she wasn't so sure.
Her friend Francesca helps her get to grips with the downturn in sales when Issac is away.
Molly bites back when a delivery man thinks he can assault her and get away with it.
Issac's family are the ones she turns to for help when she needs an alternative way to get stocks for the factory, though it takes her a while to get the hang of his car.
Issac writes, and she realises how much she loves him, and hopes he'll get back safe one day soon.
It's after a night out dancing with Francesca, she knows how close Bobby and Francesca have become. On the same night, walking home, she is raped by someone she thought she could trust. Now there is more to worry about than the Hat Company. Soon she realises that her unborn child is in danger even before it's been born.
Follow the ups and downs of Molly Marsden in this first family saga set in the Black Country from Lydia King.
