Tale of two children badly abused by their drunken parents. Bob, nearly 14, runs away to earn money to save his sister, and she is beaten by her parents and witnesses her father cut her step-mother's throat. Bob comes back in time to hear her evidence at the inquest and prevent his step-father's escape. Dolly dies. Very strong picture of the abuse of children of alcoholics. (PB)
