PASSIONATE, AMBITIOUS, BRAVE - A WOMAN LIKE NO OTHER.
Life for Ruth Appleby has never been easy - burying her mother at 12; a meagre existence as the daughter of a Victorian millhand; hard work as a glorified mother and housekeeper at home.
Longing to escape the bleak Yorkshire moors and desperate for adventure, she seizes the opportunity to venture on her own to America - a land on the brink of Civil War - to build the life she wants for herself.
Can she rise to the challenges America throws at her and find the life and love she has always desired?
THE SIXTH CLIFFEHAVEN NOVEL BY SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ELLIE DEAN
It was a time of friendship, family, love and loss . . . In defending herself against her brutal husband, eighteen-year-old Ruby Clark is forced to flee London. She has no idea where Cliffehaven is, or what she will find there, but she knows that she will never be able to return home again.
Macomber's feel-good novel, emphasising interpersonal relationships and putting people above status and objects, is truly satisfying.
