About this ebook
Escape into the world of Val Wood’s historical saga this winter and cosy up with this utterly gripping fireside read!
Holderness, Yorkshire, 1988.
Elizabeth Foster has lived in Tillington all her life. She knows everything about the local community... Everything except why another family, the Reedbarrows, now live in her ancestral home, Foster's Mill.
When Christopher, a man from 'down south', arrives and begins asking questions about the Mill that no one has dared to ask for generations, secrets begin to surface, and Liz may finally find the answers she's been looking for. And perhaps, at last, Liz and her father will be able to return to their family home.
But Liz soon realises that if the sea continues to ravage the cliffside, the land which the mill is built on will fall away. If she doesn't take action soon, there may not be a home for her to return to.
With the help of Chris and the local community, can Liz save the village and claim what's rightfully hers?
