London, 1923.
Bermondsey is the larder of London with its bustling docks, spice mill, tannery and factories.
Milly Colman knows she’s lucky. Working at Southwell’s jam factory all week means she can have a pay packet and a laugh with her mates come Saturday. It’s a welcome escape from home, where Milly must protect her mother and sisters from her father’s violent temper.
When autumn comes, hop-picking in Kent gives all the Colman women a longed-for respite. But it is there, on one golden September night, that Milly makes the mistake of her life and finds her courage and strength tested as never before.
