Mary Jenkins had dragged herself up from humble beginnings - first to be overseer in the Canal Street laundry, then to run her own market stall in Sweyn's Eye. But constantly fate - and the Sutton brothers - knocked her down again. Dean Sutton was prepared to set her up in a shop of her own - but only at his price - while Brandon Sutton threatened to destroy her with a love neither of them could control. But Mary - proud Mary - was a fighter, determined to win whatever the odds, however great the sacrifice.
