The Child From Nowhere

The Poor House Lane #2

by Freda Lightfoot

Events have taken an unexpected turn and Kate finds herself back in Poor House Lane with some heartrending decisions to be made, not least how to find her missing son. Somehow she must also make a living for herself and help the women being abused by the hated Swainson. But nothing is straightforward, and her sister-in-law Lucy isn’t done with her yet.

About the author

Born in Lancashire, I've been a teacher, bookseller and in a mad moment, a smallholder on the freezing fells of the Lake District where I tried my hand at the ‘good life’, kept sheep and hens, various orphaned cats and dogs, built drystone walls, planted a small wood and even learned how to make jam. I now spend the winter in Spain and summer in the UK. I have now published 48 books including many bestselling family sagas and historical novels.

Even though i find myself a reader, i often feel like “i don’t have time” or that i can find better ways to rest. Though, the moment i started this book i was addicted. No idea it was a part two also.. The story stood on its own.

A good start to the story.

I could not wait to finish this story, but just as I thought I had reached the end another depressing storyline evolved, now that I have reached the end of the book I have not reached the end of the story!

I listened to this as an audiobook and it was quite engrossing. Once again some mean and evil characters.

The ending means I will be signing up to read the 3rd and final book in the saga - to put my mind at rest.

Nice story, well worth the read.

a quick and easy read. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, I found all the characters were likeable (except for Lucy) but I have to say I was disappointed to see that Elilot's character changed, I was so annoyed that he took Lucy's word rather than his own wife and two children. I'm definitely going to read book 3 because I'm hoping (with fingers crossed) that Lucy gets exactly what she deserves.
