Catherine Cookson's story is as dramatic as any of her bestselling novels. Born in 1906, the illegitimate daughter of a servant, she was brought up in the slums of Tyneside. Her childhood was marred by violence, abuse, alcoholism and shame. But determined to escape her situation, Catherine made her way out of the poverty trap by "writing it all out". Her novels became a new genre and her legendary success is contrasted here with a fuller, darker picture of her life.

"'Kate's Daughter' gets to the heart of the Catherine Cookson story. With the help of material made available since Catherine's death, Piers Dudgeon lifts the veil on the myth and lays bare the true nature of this complex and fascinating woman. What emerges is a fresh docuementary portrait, shot through with a psychological dimension that explains for the first time the fears that cast Catherine into the nightmare of mental breakdown and fed the very darkest veins of autobiography in her novels."--P. [4] of cover.

My Land of the North is Catherine Cookson's own account of her harsh upbringing in the industrial North East, and the effect that its proverty, exploitation and bigotry had on her life and her writing. It aroused such deep emotions in her that she fed off them for her ideas and characters for the rest of her life. And in the company of her best-loved fictional creations who meant so much to her she writes passionately about Tyneside and its people.
