‘This is a book I couldn’t put down . . . a great read!’
South Wales Evening Post on The Girl From Poorhouse Lane
The slums of Poor House Lane are no place to bring up a child and widowed Kate struggles to feed her beloved baby son. So when the wealthy, childless Tysons offer to adopt Callum and employ Kate as his nursemaid, she feels compelled to accept. To be close to her son, yet no longer his mother, is bittersweet. And Eliot Tyson’s brother, Charles, sees Callum as a threat to his inheritance.
Events take an unexpected turn and Kate finds herself back in Poor House Lane desperate to find her missing son. She feels she must also help the women being abused by the hated Swainson. But her sister-in-law Lucy isn’t done with her yet.
When the Great War is over, Kate welcomes her husband back with open arms. But he is a changed man, and she is used to her independence running the shoe factory. Eliot’s return creates tensions, particularly with Kate’s son, Callum. And her sister-in-law Lucy seems determined to stir up yet more animosity…

74 books211 followersBorn 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.
