"Set in the backstreets of a Scottish city in the 1920's, this is the story of a young girl growing up in 'the Lane.' Poor, crowded and dirty--but full of life and excitement--the Lane is the only home Janie MacVean has ever known. It is a place where, despite everything, Janie is happy. But when the Cruelty Man arrives, bringing with him the threat of the dreaded 'home'--the orphanage that is every child's nightmare--Janie's contented childhood seems to be at an end."--
