Publisher's Synopsis
In the slums of Hull, at the turn of the eighteenth century, live Will and Maria Foster, constantly fighting a war against poverty, disease and crime.
When tragedy strikes, crippling Will for life, it was John Rayner, who rescues the family: offering work and a home on the estate owned by John Rayner's wealthy family. There, Will's third child is born -- Sarah, a bright and beautiful girl who was to prove the strength of the family.
As John watches Sarah grow into a serene and lovely woman, he becomes increasingly aware of his love for her, a love that was hopeless, for the gulf of wealth and social standing between them made . Against the background of the sea, the wide skies of Holderness, and the frightening crumbling land that meant so much to them, their love story is played out to its final climax.
If you enjoy books by Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love Val's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity.
