Helen Cannam

Queen of the Road Helen Cannam

'I've bought up the business, all of it. From this morning.' Diana Armstrong's announcement in the spring of 1963 stuns her daughter Carol and overthrows all her preconceptions about what life has to offer, for both of them. But first Carol has to overcome her anger against her recently widowed mother, and her complicated feelings for her dead father. Then there is feckless husband Kenny and their expected child... But her love for the family business in which she grew up wins her over. Together, two women in a man's world, mother and daughter work to build up the crumbling haulage business into a thriving enterprise. But is it always to be at the expense of their personal lives, of love and happiness? 'Queen of the Road' is a sequel to 'Family Business'
