About this listen
Lancashire, 1930s. When her mother dies, leaving her an old sewing box and a clue to her father's identity, 22-year-old Maisie Bassett is determined to make a fresh start.
Changing her name and moving to the small town of Rivenshaw, she finds a respectable job in a grocery store. But unwanted attentions from a man at her new church make life increasingly difficult - until the shy, handsome Gabriel Harte comes to her rescue.
Then she receives an inheritance from a distant relative and her world is turned upside down. The home she's always dreamed of may finally be hers - if she can keep it safe from a grasping slum landlord. With Gabriel's help, can Maisie untangle the secrets of her past and secure her future?
Curl up with this heartwarming listen from the Queen of the Rural Saga - perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Katie Flynn

PRAISE FOR ANNA JACOBS:
This is that rare thing, a pacy page-turner with a ripping plot and characters you care about . . . [Anna Jacobs is] especially big on resourceful, admirable women. Great stuff!
Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around
[Anna Jacobs' books have an] impressive grasp of human emotions
I loved the way they supported each other through the story and it was also good to see Bith back and working on the good side this time. Again I really liked him in this book and could tell from the first book he was not happy with the work he'd had to do in book 1. Again like in all the other books based in the vally it was grate to see all our old friends supporting them as well. Looking forward to book 3 and meeting the third character who's going to inherit the third house. Love Gwinnith Gabriel's mother so glad she's also getting a story.
