Product Description
Beth Ward and Tyler Blacklock share a love they know will last forever. But Beth's mother, Esther, is jealous of the girl and seizes an opportunity to be rid of her daughter. Banished in disgrace from the family home, Beth takes the northbound train and alights at Blackburn, friendless and alone. On this day, Fortune smiles, for Beth is taken in by warm-hearted Maisie Armstrong, a widow with two children. Money is scarce, but love abounds in the cosy house on Larkhill, and Beth is content there to await the birth of her child. But she cannot forget Tyler, and is tormented by the belief that he has betrayed her. Beth is a woman of rare courage and fortitude, but there is yet more danger and heartbreak to be endured before she can find peace and happiness...
About the Author
The story of Josephine Cox is as extraordinary as anything in her novels. Born in Blackburn, she was one of ten children. Life was full of tragedy and hardship - but not without love and laughter. At the age of 16, Josephine met and married 'a caring and wonderful man', and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and though family responsibilities meant she couldn't take a place at Cambridge University, she did go into teaching and also began writing her first full-length novel. Josephine has now given up teaching in order to write full time. Her previous novels of North Country life are all available from Headline.
