Historical romance; Sagas

A powerful saga set in England's north-east and the new frontiers of America by much-loved storyteller Val Wood, released now in a brand new package - if you like Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love this heartwarming story of triumph over adversity.

When Georgiana Gregory and her maid, Kitty, make the long sea journey from their native Hull for New York, they hope to begin a new life in the freedom of the newly-formed United States of America.

Georgiana wants to escape from the confines of English life, and to savour a land of emancipation and opportunity.

But in New York, she encounters a man passing himself off as a local mill-owner's son, Edward, who has abandoned Georgiana's sister and fled to America. Georgiana recognises the man standing before her as Edward's valet Robert - Edward himself appears to have vanished.

As Georgiana and Kitty pursue the adventures of the frontier, and Edward tries to flee his enemies, the dangers of this new country seem too much to cope with.

If you've liked books by Katie Flynn and Dilly Court, you'll love Val's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity.
