Charlotte Booth loves her father and the home they share, which is set high up in the limestone escarpments of Crummockdale. But when a new businessman in the form of Joseph Dawson enters their lives, both Charlotte and her father decide he's the man for her and, within six months, Charlotte marries the dashing mill owner from Accrington.

Then a young mill worker is found dead in the swollen River Ribble. With Joseph's business nearly bankrupt, it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems and Joseph is not the man he pretends to be. Heavily pregnant, penniless and heartbroken, Charlotte is forced to face the reality that life may never be the same again . . .

Critic reviews

If you are a lover of historical sagas and the sweep of the northern hills and their romance, then this novel is definitely for you
A cosy read that feels perfect for the winter months. Set in the Yorkshire Dales, this story is atmospheric and even a little heart-breaking

The second book is ready and waiting in my library, once I have written this I will make a start listening to Part two.
The writer has me caught in the life of the characters and the narrator is one of the best. A great listen, highly recommended.

A good variety of well described characters and a nice story line. I am looking forward to the second book, in order to find out how Charlotte gets to grips with running the Cotton Mill and her childhood farm. I like how historical facts, like the American civil war and the resulting cotton famine, were woven into the story line.

Enjoyable
