Gangs, poverty, corruption - 17-year-old Shirley Read, growing up in Bradford in the '50s, knows all about the Canterbury Estate and the notorious Hudsons who rule it. But when she falls for one of the Hudson lads, nothing and no one - including her own father - is going to stand in her way.

Whisked away into a world of newspaper tablecloths and jam-jar cups, Shirley gradually comes to see one big happy family that gets by on almost nothing, surviving only on loyalty, laughter and love - things she's never known before.
But when tragedy rocks the estate in one of the greatest scandals of the era, will these be enough to see the family through?
It wasn't just the Hudson boys who have a story to tell: from matriarch Annie, who gave birth to 13 children, to daughters Margaret and Eunice, who married up and out, each had a personality as indomitable as the last.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure, this is the vivid account of the 'Tucker' girls; the resourceful women at the helm of a notorious Bradford family, holding the family together when tragedy strikes.
