I wanted to read this book, but the letters were all mixed up when I received it on my kindle. Hopefully I can get another try when it comes out on amazon. Thank you.

Taking place in Colliers row in the Lanarkshire miners cottages. The row is a wretched place full of depression and poverty. When there is poverty there is a sense of helplessness in the men and when that happens some of the men go about beating their wives and drinking away their pay. There is no broth to fill the bellies of their children and no shoes for their feet. Kate Fleming had her first child as a teen when she was seduced by the pit owners son who then abandoned her and left her to raise the child on her own. She now has many children since she has remarried and life is a daily struggle. The men from the row are frequently out of work from the pit but working in the pit is an underground hell. There are bits about Kate Flemings's children as they work to improve their situation in life. This is a fictional story but unfortunately there are many cases just like this that are oh so real.
Poverty sucks!
