Opis

(6 x 9 PAPERBACK, EASY TO READ 12 PT. FONT) In 1870 England, industry and modernization are the order of the day, but for Kate Thurgood the world outside the remote farm where she dwells with her mother is a faraway mystery. She has lived without questioning their lifestyle or why her mother, a lowly servant, is so much more refined than others of her station. If she had given it thought, she might have guessed there existed a hidden piece of information concerning them, and a scandalous one at that. With its revelation comes a world of opportunity-and potential danger. It could lead to every imaginable earthly fulfillment, or poverty to an extreme even Kate hasn't known. She will experience how life should have been for her, if not for a callous deed committed before her birth that has cast a shadow over her name, a deed so radical no one can-or wishes to-come to terms with it. Perhaps the mysterious Mr. Roeing can help guide her.
