Description
A page-turning historical fiction novel of family, loss and survival. Perfect for fans of Evie Woods, Rachel Burton, and Daisy Wood.
A hidden past. A devastating choice. A heartbreaking truth.
After a terrible injustice forces Mary Tanswell from her position in service, she believes her prospects are gone for good. So when she receives an unexpected offer of employment at Cresswell Manor - a grand country house far removed from the life she has known - it feels like her only hope of redemption.
Within Cresswell's quiet halls, she is promised stability, safety, and even the possibility of happiness. But to accept, Mary must bury the most painful details of her past or risk losing her only chance for a brighter future. With nowhere else to turn, though, she takes the position.
At the manor, Mary does her best to keep her secret hidden and protect the new life she has built. But some truths, no matter how deeply buried, cannot stay hidden forever...
