Your chance to win new novel

A Sunderland author inspired by her childhood growing up in Ryhope has released her latest novel – and we have eight copies to give away.

The Tuppeny Child is the latest story from the pen of Glenda Young and follows the success of her previous release Belle of the Back Streets.

It tells the story of Sadie Linthorpe who is the talk of Ryhope when she arrives there, aged 17, alone, seeking work and a home in the pit village.

But Sadie is keeping a secret – she is searching for her baby girl who was taken from her at birth a year ago and cruelly sold by the child's grandmother.All that Sadie knows about the family who took her daughter is that they live in Ryhope.

Author Glenda credits her local library in Ryhope, where she grew up, for giving her a love of books.

As well as being a published author, she runs two hugely-popular Coronation Street fan websites. Her third book, Peal of Pit Lane, will be released in March 2020.

The Tuppenny Child published by Headline is out now on paperback priced £6.99. It’s also available in eBook and audio.
