Summary

 The second in the heartwarming Lancashire saga series that began with SALEM STREET, by beloved author Anna Jacobs.

In 1845 Annie Gibson can finally leave Salem Street. Her dreams of being able to open an elegant dressmaking salon in the High Street of Bilsden, a Lancashire mill town, have come true. And she is going to take her father and his second family with her, away from poverty, away from the Rows.
But Annie has not left trouble behind. Someone is trying to undermine her business. Her family have their own ideas about what they want to do with their lives. And several men are persistently trying to win favour with the beautiful young widow - including Frederick Hallam, the mill owner, and Daniel O'Connor, her childhood friend.

As Annie gets better acquainted with both, she becomes increasingly confused about her feelings. Can she really be in love And can she risk trusting any man again.

I just can't get enough of Anna Jacobs books. And this is no exception. A story of a rise from poverty through hard work and tenacity against all odds. Definitely going to get the following books in this series.

Lovely read.

I just didn't want to stop listening to it. I found myself finding things to do that allowed me to listen at the same time.
The narrator read it brilliantly, portraying the characters emotions cleverly, so that I wanted the story to go on forever and couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

Had Me Hooked!
