Collier's Row — Jan Webster

No one could keep Kate down... Not the philandering Balfour heir who seduced her and left her to bear his son alone. Not the proper minister who thrust her from his home to walk the long road to Glasgow and the uncertain future. Not the mine owner who kept Kate's vibrant husband laboring at a poverty wage in the darkness of the pits. Beautiful Kate Kilgour would inspire her brood to rise above their meager beginnings in Colliers Row, to seize life and love with eager hands, to realize their destinies.
