Description
A new emotional and gritty drama from the bestselling author of The Throwaway Children.
After her mother's death, twenty-year-old Sophie Ross is left orphaned, with only her erstwhile nursemaid and faithful friend, Hannah for company. Penniless and little chance of an income, she looks for work as a governess in London to avoid destitution.
But unbeknown to Sophie, her mother instructed Hannah to post a letter to Trescadinnick House in Cornwall upon her death. The letter will be the catalyst that changes Sophie's life forever as she learns of her mother's doomed romance and family she left behind in Cornwall.
The Penvarrow family welcomes Sophie into their fold, but the new life she's built is threatened by secrets and lies that soon come to light...

Sophie, recently orphaned is left alone in London with her maid little knowing her mother had contacted her estranged sister just before she died, a move that would change Sophie's life forever. Sophie becomes acquainted with the grandfather in Cornwall who had so cruelly disowned her mother because of the man she chose to marry. Sophie begins to unravel a family mystery that brings heartache for herself and disruption to the new family she has found. Will she find out the truth and find her true love or is she destined to make a huge mistake? A really enthralling, fast paced story that is well written that it flowed seamlessly and held my attention to the end.

I have been a big fan of Diney Costeloe for a long time so I was very excited to receive an copy of her newest book!
I loved this book....it did not disappoint. Diney has a way of writing that makes you feel like you have known the characters forever......they feel like family.
The story was told in way that kept you wanting more.....was not rushed.....and completely satisfied with the ending. Nothing felt rushed which I feel happens with many of the books I read.
I cannot wait for her next book,
Awesome!!!!
