This omnibus includes three of Maureen Lee's beloved Liverpool sagas. In Stepping Stones, Lizzie O'Brien was born into a large, boisterous Liverpool family dominated by her brute of a father. At 16 she runs away to Londonâthe first stepping stone towards a new life and a glorious future. In Liverpool Annie, Annie Harrison's childhood is full of contrasts; from the happy, crowded atmosphere of her uncle and aunt's house to the lonely seclusion of life with her reclusive mother. It is her friendship with Sylvia that opens up a different life of wealth and freedom. In Dancing in the Dark, when Millie is reluctantly sorting through the belongings of her Aunt Flo, who recently died, she finds herself engrossed in a life she knew nothing about.
