Product Description

‘I can take him away from you any time I want.’

Her mistress’s cruel taunt is deeply disturbing to Jenny. But why should Claudia be interested in a servant’s sweetheart? Jenny reckons without Claudia’s vicious nature; using a wily trick she seduces Frank, who, overcome with shame, departs for a new life in Blackburn. Losing her sweetheart is just the first of many disasters that leave Jenny struggling to cope alone. When Claudia gives birth to Frank's baby girl she cruelly disowns the helpless infant and relies on Jenny to care for little Katie and love her as her own. Always afraid for the beloved child who has come to depend on her, Jenny is constantly called upon to show courage and fortitude to fight for all she holds dear. In her heart she yearns for Frank, believing that one day they must be reunited. When Fate takes a hand, it seems as though Jenny may see her dreams come true.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic book!
This is a book that perhaps at a first glance, one might think is just another trashy, romantic novel - but it isn't! It is a heart rendering story and is so well written that you feel so much for Jenny, Katie and Frank. It has many interesting twists and turns but remains a brilliant story throughout. A definate good read for a long afternoon!

Just ok!
This is the 2nd book of J.C's I've read and I can see a pattern starting to form. She puts a lot of detail into the body of the book, then it's almost as if she's realised she's run out of space and so ties everything up really quickly without much thought. Too much is instantly resolved which leaves you with a feeling of being cheated. Maybe if J.C spent a little less time/pages on the body and a little more on sorting out her endings I would be inclined to read another of her books, but until then...
