Wishing Water

Luckpenny Land #3

by Freda Lightfoot

Lissa Turner has everything a girl could wish for. She’s beautiful, intelligent and has a wonderful family in the beautiful Lake District. Despite her good fortune though, Lissa is not happy. Her real mother abandoned her as a baby and her feelings of confusion and vulnerability have persisted. As soon as she is old enough she takes up a job in Carreckwater, a lively village in the heart of Lakeland. She makes many friends, but is wary of close relationships. Lissa wants nothing more than to be loved and cherished, but her lack of faith in herself launches her into a disastrous marriage with sinister consequences... An enchanting saga set in the Lake District, perfect for fans of Ruth Hamilton and Rosie Goodwin.

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.

Loved it, Poor Lissa, what a sad life she had, would recommend.

Loved it

Another wonderful book from. Freda. She has a skill that makes you not want to put her books down. The only annoying thing I have found is that there are a lot of spelling mistakes or incorrect words. I am not sure if this is a problem just with Kindle books
