The tale of the courageous rise of a young girl, saved from the Sunderland slums by her beautiful voice.
The approach of the twentieth century means little to Josie Burns and her family; living in Sunderland''s slum area, they battle dirt, cold and hunger on a daily basis. Josie''s brothers and sisters are terrified of their violent alcoholic father, but Josie is not like the rest, for she has something that will enable her to rise out of the slums: a beautiful singing voice, with which even as a child she earns enough pennies to keep her father happy. When she discovers that her father is trying to put her younger sister, Gertie, on the game, Josie and Gertie flee the family home, taking refuge with a friend. By educating herself and taking singing lessons, Josie starts on the journey to success and security - but can she also find love?
