Escape to the cobbled streets, pit villages and close-knit communities of North East England with this heartwarming four-book collection from bestselling saga author Glenda Young. Following strong, resilient women through hardship, love and family loyalty, these four standalone sagas capture the grit and warmth of working-class life in a bygone era.

About the Books
In Belle of the Back Streets, readers meet Meg Sutcliffe, a rag-and-bone trader in Ryhope who takes over her father's round after tragedy strikes, battling a ruthless rent collector to protect her family with only her horse and dog for company. The Tuppenny Child follows seventeen-year-old Sadie Linthorpe as she arrives in the pit village searching for the baby girl who was cruelly taken from her at birth and sold on by her own mother. Pearl of Pit Lane tells the story of Pearl Edwards, raised by her aunt Annie after her mother dies in childbirth, as Annie is forced to make desperate choices to keep a roof over their heads. Finally, The Girl with the Scarlet Ribbon follows Jess, a foundling raised in secrecy by housekeeper Ada Davidson within the grand household of the wealthy McNally family, and her journey to uncover the truth of her true identity. Each novel stands alone but shares Glenda Young's trademark setting of Ryhope and the surrounding coalfields, painting a vivid picture of community, hardship and hope across the generations. Together, the four books offer hours of immersive, emotionally rich storytelling for readers who love sagas rooted in real working-class history.
