How the book came to be written
In 1962 I was sitting on the top of a bus with my mother, on my way to Oldham to book my wedding. Out of the window I saw a little street called Salem Street. I said, 'Ooh, what a good title for a novel! I wonder what the people were like who first lived here?' I got married a few weeks later, and am still married to the same lovely guy. It took a little longer to write the book. It was the third book I tried to write - then I wrote and rewrote it several times as I learned to write. It was finally published in 1994 in the UK and Commonwealth countries, and has since been published in the United States - Reader's Digest did a condensed version and it's been translated into Dutch. I love this tale - see how you like it! But be warned, you may then have to go on to read others of my books!

It's been the best-selling of my books so far. I'd thought it'd be the first of a trilogy, but instead there are five books in the Gibson Family Saga. They're all about Annie Gibson, but they weave in the stories of her eight brothers and sisters as well.
