Synopses

No One’s Girl

Jane Reynolds lives under the shadow of her father’s dominance, presenting devotion while carrying the fear his cruelty has left behind. After his sudden death, she withdraws to her small farm, venturing out only to sell the fruit and vegetables she grows. One bitter night, she discovers a young runaway hiding near her cottage, and her carefully contained life begins to shift.

The Ribbon Weaver

On a winter’s night, Molly Ernshaw rescues a baby from the snow, an act that alters two families for ever. The child grows into a talented young woman with ambitions that stretch beyond ribbon-weaving. With encouragement from her neighbour’s son, Toby, she begins to imagine a future designing the hats and clothes her ribbons are made to adorn.

A Band of Steel

In 1938, Adina and her family are forced to flee Cologne to escape the menace of German invasion, leaving behind a life of luxury. The upheaval is compounded by the reality of becoming refugees in a foreign country. As they settle in the Midlands, Adina’s compassion and determination help her find the strength to endure.

Whispers

An old manor house has stood empty for years, decaying since the last master of the Fenton family died. When Jess Beddows steps inside, she is struck by the feeling that she has come home. Defying her family’s wishes, she buys the house and vows to restore it, then discovers a journal in an attic room left untouched for a century or more.

The Empty Cradle

To those around her, Charlotte appears to be the privileged daughter of the local vicar, but at home she lives under her father’s controlling rule. As she grows up, she yearns for freedom, yet her innocence draws her into trouble. Sent to Ireland to conceal a pregnancy, she learns her father has deceived her once again.

The Mill Girl

In the 1840s on Abbey Street in Warwickshire, life is harsh: boys are bound for the pit and girls for the mill. Maryann is clever and spirited, content in her world until her mother dies and her family begins to fall apart. Left carrying the burden, she grows exhausted and lonely, particularly as Toby, the boy she is set on marrying, insists they must wait.

The Maid's Courage

Ginny is shattered by the deaths of her mother, her sister and two little brothers, while her father is broken by grief. After a series of drunken mistakes, he is imprisoned for murder, and Ginny and her little brother Charlie lose the only home they have ever known.
