Inspired by the life of Catherine Cookson's mother, the sequel to 'The Jarrow Lass' is a powerful and compelling tale of despair and hope, passion and heartache, and the power of faith in the future.
To escape her possessive and drunken step-father, Kate Fawcett is sent away from Tyneside and finds work at Ravensworth Castle. She soon attracts the attention of charming Alexander Pringle Davies and allows herself to be seduced, but Alexander is forced abroad by his father and into an unwanted betrothal.
Discovering she is carrying Alexander's child, Kate goes home to face the wrath of her step-father and the censure of their neighbours and resigns herself to a lonely life of drudgery. But it is her daughter Catherine who gives her life meaning and keeps Kate from giving up.
