A wonderful coming of age saga you'll want to revisit time and time again... 'A jolly good read... Abbie is a great character, buffeted by fate but a powerful woman of her time' -- Susan Sallis 'Jess has really captured the sense of a family united against great odds. Her heroine, Abbie, is strong but flawed as all good heroines should be and as we follow her triumphs and trials we see her change from a girl to a woman in the most dramatic and satisfying of ways' -- Iris Gower 'Compulsive and well-paced' -- Wiltshire Times 'Couldn't put it down' -- ***** Reader review 'I have read this book over and over and never get tired of reading it.' -- ***** Reader review 'Lovely read!' -- ***** Reader review ***************************************************************************** LOVE, PASSION AND THE STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE... Growing up in a small Wiltshire village, Abbie Morris has always known what lies ahead of her - a dull and dismal life of drudgery. Matters get worse when Abbie is twelve and their emotional, spirited mother casts them into a crisis for which no one is prepared. Six years later, the Morris family have rebuilt their lives, and when Abbie and Beatie, Abbie's adored elder sister, set off for the county fair, the world seems a good place. But their new-found happiness is short-lived. A chance encounter with Louis, a personable, handsome stranger, has repercussions that threaten to destroy Abbie's peace of mind for ever. Abbie struggles to forget what happened that night and to get on with her life, and when she meets charming, honourable Arthur - and re-encounters Louis - it becomes clear that she might never recover from the night they stayed so long at the fair...
