Eva, Peggy and Kathleen were sisters, living in a terraced house on a rough street. As they grew up, they dreamed of escaping their violent father. Peggy was a studious girl who became a Communist. Beautiful Kathleen married an abusive man and later - during the Second World War - fell in love with a GI. Feisty Eva became a thief as a child so she could help their mother put food on the table - and never lost her rebellious streak or her desire to protect her family. As the years passed, the sisters all lived close together, supporting each other through hard times.

Three Sisters in a Tin House is the chilling story of three little girls - Julie, Kristine, and Carrie - who survived the unimaginable and witnessed the unthinkable. Their mother worked hard to keep clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads, but their abusive, alcoholic father worked even harder at making all their lives miserable. But he wasn’t the only negative force that brought terror into their home: a ghostly presence seemed determined to keep the girls’ lives off-balance, turning even the calmest moments in the home into episodes of pure horror.
