An old priest may tell her that God is colour blind, but to half-white, half-black Rose-Angela it is small comfort against the suspicions and prejudice of the all-too-human Tyneside community. Her isolation is intensified by her mother's brother's bitter hatred which drives her kind father away. Rose-Angela is left with nothing but her own courage. But at least she comes to terms with her heritage and finds her own way to love.

From the Publisher

NOW A POWERFUL ITV MINI-SERIES

Catherine Cookson's novels are about hardship, the intractability of life and of individuals, the struggle first to survive and next to make sense of one's survival. Humour, toughness, resolution and generosity are Cookson virtues, in a world which she often depicts as cold and violent. Her novels are weighted and driven by her own early experiences of illegitimacy and poverty. This is what gives them power. In the specialised world of women's popular fiction, Cookson has created her own territory' - Helen Dunmore, The Times
