About this listen
The first book in the heartwarming Gibson series by beloved saga author Anna Jacobs.
In 1820, Salem Street is sparkling and new: eight small terraced houses built by a Lancashire mill owner for his best workers. Annie Gibson's family is one of the first to move in - a step up in the world for them. But when her mother dies, Annie's happy childhood ends and she is left to bring up her brother and sister.
Red-haired, intelligent and startlingly pretty, Annie soon finds herself banished from home by a jealous stepmother. She finds work in the local doctor's household, where she learns about the fascinating world outside Salem Street. And when her adored childhood friend Matt asks her to marry him, Annie thinks her dreams are coming true.
But suddenly everything turns upside-down. Abandoned and pregnant, Annie returns to Salem Street, where an unexpected offer gives her independence. One day, she vows, she will move into the wider world again. One day....

Great solid story
This book kept me going from the start.
The story of a very poor lass bought up in the slums of a factory city in old England.
The poor lass starts to make a go of things after her mum has died. Only as she is about to become engaged to the love of her life does the most horrendous thing happen to her.
The finance dumps her and she has to start from scratch without the help of her family.
This is the story of how she struggles yet manages to make something of herself.
I’m so looking forward to seeing what happens in the next book.
