The Broken Biscuit | John Cowell
1 post
The Broken Biscuit is a remarkable story of a remarkable woman told by her loving son, John Cowell. Winifred Cowell is a woman of true courage, generosity and spirit; a woman who throughout her life has pitted herself against poverty and hardship. In the vein of Angela's Ashes and A Child Called It, The Broken Biscuit is the heart-rending story of one woman's struggle and refusal to succomb to adversitythe beatings of a violent husband, the crippling poverty of ageto raise six children in the only way she knew how.
