Publishers Description: Imelda Dooley is scared. Really scared. Shes played hard and fast and now shes been caught. Shes pregnant and now shes on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. And its not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders. When Mary Dooleys husband is killed in the nights events, she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. And graft she does, becoming a name in her own right. But she still has to watch her daughters life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution. Caught up in the carnage that is Imeldas existence are Marys adored grandchildren, Jordanna and Kenny. Pretty little Jordanna isnt yet three and she already knows far too much. All she can do is look after her baby brother, Kenny, and try not to draw unwanted attention to herself. Set in the East End of London from the tail-end of the seventies up until the present-day, THE BUSINESS is a tale of drugs, prostitution and a young girls fight for survival -- against all the odds.
