Author Gillian Fletcher-Edwards grew up in a mining family of the fifties and sixties, from which many of her stories and life philosophies grew.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Marged Evans&#039;&#039; is the story of two people who drifted apart. Marged allowed the breakup to affect her life, but her receipt of a Christmas card from her long-lost lover changes everything. <br /> &#039;&#039;The Bully&#039;&#039; is apt for people of every age and culture and will encourage people to deal with bullies in a healthy manner. &#039;&#039;The Annual Outing&#039;&#039; is a reflection of the miners&#039; holidays when, regardless of the weather, people in droves escaped the bleakness of mining life. <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;The Cottage on the Hill: A Monologue&#039;&#039; illustrates how people are often undervalued for their work and general loyalty, passed over for yes-men. &#039;&#039;The Raindrop&#039;&#039; shows how people can change from being friendly to hostile when necessities are scarce. Fletcher-Edwards hopes that through her stories, people will not forget the struggles that miners&#039; families, wherever in the world they live, often experience.</div>
