  Twopence to Cross the Mersey 18 Oct 2005  
The autobiography becomes a musical play

The author Helen Forrester is a Liverpool legend. She writes romance and historical sagas and since she published the first volume of her autobiography over 30 years ago, sales of her books have topped 4 million.

A musical play version of her own story, Twopence to Cross the Mersey, played to packed audiences in her home city. As Faith Lawrence discovered - when the curtain closes on this tale of poverty in the 1930s - there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
