She's right, and with her mother sick and her half-sister, Annie, becoming increasingly feckless; it's down to Ellen to fight Conor's tyranny. But when Annie disappears, leaving her baby on their doorstep, Ellen begins fear for herself and for the life of the innocent child she has learnt to love.…

A great saga from Lyn Andrews

Another lovely story from this author but not the happiest of reads. The narrator was a bit annoying with accents at times but not awful.
