Description

The brand new epic family drama from the nations favourite storyteller.

Where can a daughter turn when her fathers love is stolen away
When heart-broken Sarah Quinn is left to care for her father and siblings when her mother dies, its hard to watch their loving dad, Fred, drift into drink and despair. With money tight, Sarah is determined to keep the family together.

But they receive a shock when Fred Quinn announces he is to marry Mavis Swindel, the landlady of a boarding house on the edge of the moors. Mavis seems to offer the answer to the familys problems, and soon they are all moving into her shabby lodgings.

It quickly becomes clear that their stepmother has plans for her new family, and slowly but surely, Mavis takes over their lives. As her father becomes a stranger to his children, Sarah becomes convinced that Mavis has something to hide. But as her doubts turn into an obsession, does Sarah risk destroying everything she loves in her search for the truth

Author Bio

Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching and started to write her first full-length novel. She won the Superwoman of Great Britain Award, for which her family had secretly entered her, at the same time as her novel was accepted for publication.
