About this ebook
After heartbreak, grief and despair, can happiness be found again?
Josephine Cox's Angels Cry Sometimes brims with heartbreak and joy, hardship and indomitable spirit, that will hold the reader enthralled. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Nadine Dorries.
The marriage of Marcia and Curt Ratheter seemed idyllically happy. As much in love as on their wedding day, nothing could mar their joy. But one fateful day in 1931 brought Marcia's world tumbling about her ears and left her and her two daughters bereft.
Barty Bendall has always loved her, he says; and the girls need a father. Marcia moves to Blackburn with him, where she tries to forget the past. Barty, though, sinks into bad ways, tyrannizing the family. In particular he vents his aggression on Polly, Curt and Marcia's first-born, blonde as an angel but afflicted since birth with an ominous shadow over her health.
Even in troubled times, lovely raven-haired Marcia was a fighter. But the news that Curt Ratheter has reappeared renders her the helpless prey of wildly conflicting emotions.
What readers are saying about Angels Cry Sometimes:
'All [Josephine Cox] books really engross me and Angels Cry Sometimes is no exception. Very moving'
'Enjoyable and realistic characters that we can all identify with'
'One of the best books I have read in a long time'

About the author
Josephine Cox was born in a cotton-mill house 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. Her strong, gritty stories are taken from the tapestry of life.
