About this listen

 A powerful new saga in the grand tradition of Katie Flynn, Dilly Court and Josephine Cox, of one woman's quest for happiness after a bitter tragedy, filled with romance, drama and triumph in adversity.

When terrible tragedy strikes at the local colliery, the residents of Fairley Terrace's ten houses suffer more than one loss and, for Maggie Donovan at number six, the world turns upside down. Turning for comfort to the one man she can trust, she finds a sudden and undeniable passion instead. But any future with Josh Withers seems a betrayal of her past, and Maggie realises the only way to survive is to conceal a very dark secret of her own...

For more of the Families of Fairley Terrace, look for the next compelling saga in the series, The Miner's Daughter.

Critic reviews

Fans of Katie Flynn will love this first saga in a new romantic series
An enthralling new saga from a leading light in the world of women's fiction. Jennie Felton...writes her stories straight from the heart, and All the Dark Secrets is the first of what promises to be an exciting new series.... Felton evokes time and place with compelling authenticity, and conjures up a feisty heroine and a cast of engaging characters. And hold onto your hats for The Miner's Daughter, next book in the Families of Fairley Terrace series
Believable characters, a vivid sense of time and place, thoroughly enjoyable (Rosie Goodwin)
Has everything a family saga should have - happiness, extreme sadness, love, death, births, etc. but above all
it was a real page turner . . . Thank you, Jennie, for writing such a wonderful book
If you like the style of Catherine Cookson, Josephine Cox or Katie Flynn then you'll enjoy this
