Description
xSeptember 1939. Friends Maggie Shaunessy and Lizzie Taylor are heartbroken to be evacuated from their Liverpool homes to rural Yorkshire.
Lizzie is sent to live with a vicar in the village of Gargrave, while Maggie finds herself delivered by chauffeur to Hawith Hall, the home of Lord and Lady Bradley.
The hall and the vicarage are far different to what the girls are used to, and both are very homesick - though Maggie finds friendship in the form of Alice, a young servant at the hall who takes her under her wing.
But change is coming to the Dales, leaving the girls harbouring desperate plans to run away back to Liverpool . . .
Diane Allen was born in Leeds, but raised at her family's farm deep in the Yorkshire Dales. After working as a glass engraver, raising a family and looking after an ill father, she found her true niche in life, joining a large-print publishing firm in 1990. She now concentrates on her writing full time, and is Honorary Vice President of the Romantic Novelists' Association. Diane's novels include A Precious Daughter, The Girl from the Tanner's Yard and The Miner's Wife.
Diane and her husband Ronnie live in the Dales market town of Settle, and have two children and four beautiful grandchildren.
