Summary
Glasgow, 2019. Sharon has rushed home at the news her mother has been admitted to hospital. It's clear Senga's life is coming to an end. As Sharon gathers family and friends together to say goodbye, Senga, as always, does things in her own mysterious way. She instructs Sharon to find the red diary she kept in the 1970s and to read it. There's something Senga needs to talk about while she still has time. The journey into her mother's past is both shocking and surprising, forcing Sharon to re-evaluate her own childhood, her marriage and what she wants her own future to hold.
Glasgow, 1976. Life in the tenements of Shettleston is a daily struggle. You need your wits about you to survive, and your friends. Senga has both in spades: she is part of the Shettleston 'menage' alongside her friends Bunty, Sandra, Philomena and Isa, and whatever life hands to them—cheating husbands, poverty, illness, threats and abuse—they throw something back just as hard. These women are strong because they need to be. And they never, ever walk away in times of crisis—as Sharon is about to find out.

Must read!
Having read Janey's autobiography Handstands in the Dark, I was compelled to read this story and do not regret it one bit! A fabulous story of most Scottish working class folk's life or family history with so many identifiable situations, characters or turn of phrase, not to mention a cultural and social history of those who remember the 70's onwards. An absolute joy full of laugh out loud moments and tears. If you are considering this book, I urge you to consider no more, just do it! More please Janey!

Loved it!
Brought back so many memories of childhood and wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much without Janey reading it to me. Laughed out loud several times, almost in tears at others. Thanks for the memories, Janey.

Thank you for writing this, Janey!
Being brought up in the 70’s in Scotland, this chimed with so many memories. Intelligently written and full of nostalgia - thank you so much Janey for taking your readers on a wonderful journey of Scottish childhood, while weaving a story that I was hooked in from start to finish! Looking forward to the next one! ♥️

Absolutely brilliant
Fantastic story, wonderfully read by Janey herself. You feel you're in Glasgow and living the story with Sharon and all the rest of the wonderful characters. A book for strong women and women who want to be stronger. You won't be disappointed.
