About the Book

'One of the most heartwarming books I have read in a long time' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review All she wants is a place to call home... 1884 - When Betsan Morgan’s mother succumbs to a devastating illness, she doesn't think her life could get much worse. But then her father moves in his new beau, an unserious flitty woman and coincidentally also the bargirl in the pub he works in, and she soon learns her house is no longer a home. All she can do is sit in the attic and stare at the portrait of her mother. Her new stepmother, Elinor, couldn’t even let them have the grace of keeping it in the hallway. When Elinor takes things too far – selling her dear mother’s beloved sewing machine – Betsan decides to flee, leaving in search of her estranged aunt, who she last heard was living in the working district of Merthyr Tydfil. But the dank and dark place is not somewhere a twelve-year-old girl should stray alone, and lest she wants to end up in a workhouse, she’ll have to watch her step… Immerse yourself in this heartbreaking story of a Victorian girl striving for a better life, against all odds. Perfect for those who love reading Katie Flynn, Meg Hutchinson and AnneMarie Brear. * * * * 'I read this book in a day just couldn't put it down I loved it.

Sheila Riley ''A touching and at times heart-rending story' Rosie Clarke 'A gripping historical saga well worth reading!'

About the Author :
Lynette Rees lives in Wales and has been writing since she was a child. She enjoys the freedom of writing in a variety of genres including: crime fiction and contemporary romance, though her first love is historical fiction. When she's not writing, or even when she is writing, Lynette enjoys a glass of wine and the odd piece of chocolate as she creates stories where the characters guide her hand. She honestly has no idea how a story will turn out until the characters tell their own tales in their own unique ways.
