Product Description
The powerful new bestseller from Josephine Cox -- one of our foremost storytellers. It is 1902. Emily is sixteen years of age and blissfully in love with John, two years her senior. Together they are secretly planning a life, when they are violently driven apart. Denied the man she loves, and dominated by a brutally possessive uncle, Emily is devastated when she is cruelly taken advantage of. When a child is born, her life is in tatters. And she cannot reveal the identity of the father to anyone, or there will be a terrible price to pay. Trapped and ashamed, she seeks solace in her daughter, Cathleen, but there is little consolation. As time passes, and still there is no sign of the man she loved, Emily resigns herself to the fact that he may never return, and her life begins to take another direction. However, John is never far from her mind. Is her love still waiting for her?But when history threatens to repeat itself and the father of her child once again preys on her, she must put all thoughts of John aside and find a way to safeguard her daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sad but enthralling read, 1 Jul 2004
By A Customer
Set at the beginning of the twentieth century, two lovers are forced apart by the girl, Emily's uncle who has taken over the farm after her father abandons his family and farm to escape the mounting debts. Emily's uncle is cruel and vindictive, although as the story progresses, he is eventually sidelined while Emily's mother ends up running the farm while her brother allows the debts to mount up again. Emily is taken advantage of and subsequently becomes pregnant with daughter Cathleen.

We follow the lives of Emily and John, both of whom are strong characters. They carry on with their lives and make the best of it, despite the heartbreak that separation brings...

This unputdownable book is brilliant although I think it deserves a sequel.
