AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Mary Ann is illegitimate and life for the girl in 1905 is hard. It rapidly becomes worse when her new stepfather begins to interfere with her. Sent away at fifteen to bear his child, she meets Gabriel Clough, who helps her escape to Blackpool after the birth.

'There she works hard and makes a new life for herself. Then the Great War brings her many new opportunities and also brings Gabriel back into her life. But circumstances mean they can’t be together.

'It’s not until her mother dies that Mary Ann returns to Lancashire, determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Then danger threatens both her and the child she thought she’d lost for ever. Will history repeat itself or will Mary Ann’s courage win her the happiness she deserves?'
