Tangled Threads

by Margaret Dickinson

Eveleen Hardcastle loves her life on Pear Tree Farm in Lincolnshire with her parents Mary and Walter and brother, Jimmy. Although the work is hard, the attentions of young Master Stephen Dunsmore provide Eveleen with a welcome distraction. Mary makes her disapproval of the unsuitable match clear, driving the young lovers to meet in secret. But it seems deception has a cruel price when Walter is found dead from a heart attack, leaving the Hardcastles homeless. The final blow comes with Stephens callous rejection of Eveleen, and when her family is forced to leave Lincolnshire. As Eveleen fights to make a new life in the city, she makes a stunning discovery about Marys past that helps to explain her mothers bitterness while teaching her a valuable lesson about herself.
