Maggie Craig a wilful little girl soon found out that she would need that will to survive.
After losing her family through tragic circumstances she falls for Joe Barton but through situations the relationship is doomed and she is forced into marriage with Kit Carmichael.
Effeminate and not a true husband Maggie is desperately unhappy until the past comes back to haunt her but how will she decide between duty and true love?
A great story in the style of Catherine Cookson and Josephine Cox and will appeal to all period / historical fans.
