'In the world of historical saga writers, there's a brand new voice' My Weekly
From the author of Belle of the Back Streets, a dramatically powerful saga of secrets, friendship, motherhood, love and betrayal**, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.**
'She's not worth more than tuppence, that child!'
Those are the words that haunt Sadie Linthorpe. She is the talk of Ryhope when she arrives there, aged seventeen, alone, seeking work and a home in the pit village. But Sadie is keeping a secret - she is searching for her baby girl who was taken from her at birth a year ago and cruelly sold by the child's grandmother.
All that Sadie knows about the family who took her daughter is that they live in Ryhope. And the only thing she knows about her daughter is that when the baby was born, she had a birthmark on one shoulder that resembled a tiny ladybird. But as Sadie's quest begins, a visitor from her past appears - one who could jeopardise the life she's beginning to build and ruin her chances of finding her beloved child for ever...
Praise for Glenda Young:
'Will resonate with saga readers everywhere...a wonderful, uplifting story' Nancy Revell
'I really enjoyed... It's well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters' Rosie Goodwin
'All the ingredients for a perfect saga' Emma Hornby
'Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life' Jenny Holmes
'I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I've read' Margaret Kaine
