Summary

It is 1845, and Martha Morgan, Mistress of Plas Ingli, is feeling her age. She receives warnings that she should 'take care'. Her beloved estate collapses, and she has to call upon her deepest reserves of strength in order to survive. But her misery is lessened when she meets a travelling evangelist on the summit of Angel Mountain. It turns out that the fate of Amos Jones Minor Prophet is inextricably bound up with her own. A single indiscretion in Tycanol Wood splits the community and tests the loyalty of friends and family to the limit, and starts a drift towards the final tragic episodes of Martha’s life.

While Martha is dealing with these personal crises, she is also drawn to help the peasants caught up in the Irish Potato Famine. A shipwreck on the coast near Newport gives her the opportunity to do something practical, but in the process she offends the secret Society of Sea Serjeants. Her family tries to protect her from evil men who are driven by ancient family animosities. But her fighting spirit is stronger than her body, and she takes them on. It becomes clear that Martha will not die in her bed; nor does she, but in the final act of her exciting life there are breathless twists and turns which confound her enemies and leave her undefeated.

So Good!!🥰💫✨

Brian John I absolutely adored this lastest edition in Martha Morgan’s incredible life. I too have fallen love with the essence of this amazing woman. Her strength, courage and grace is outstanding. I’m very interested and can’t wait to see where the next book is going to take us but feel honoured in learning all about Martha Morgan’s life and her entourage of angels. It’s a shame that the events back then are still happening around our beautiful world today. The world needs more communities like in Newport✌️✨
