Our Kid (The Hopkins Family Saga, Book 3) Summary

Our Kid (The Hopkins Family Saga, Book 3): The funny and heart-warming story of a northern childhood by Billy Hopkins

It was on a Sunday night in 1928 that Billy Hopkins made his first appearance. Billy's tenement home on the outskirts of Manchester would be considered a slum today, but he lived there happily with his large Catholic family, hatching money-making schemes with his friends. This book recalls an upbringing and an environment now vanished.
