Another moving and heart-warming tale set in Merseyside from the author of Twopence to Cross the Mersey. The story of Manuel Echaniz's childhood and coming of age in the teeming streets of the Mersey docklands. It is a story of poverty, comradeship, hardship and generosity. Brought up by women while the men are at sea, Manuel grows up with a fierce pride in his heritage and a powerful will to survive in an era of deprivation and unemployment.
