About this ebook
For the sake of her children, a young mother endures a violent marriage - but there is hope of better things to come...
Lyn Andrews writes a moving saga in Across a Summer Sea, a tale of a mother's devotion and taking chances. Perfect for fans of Anne Baker, Katie Flynn and Cathy Sharp.
Mary McGann's marriage has always been difficult, thanks to her husband Frank's drunken, jealous nature. Only because the little money he earns in the docks keeps food in the mouths of their children is Mary prepared to put up with him.
When Frank throws them all out on the street, Mary flees to her family in Dublin. There she meets Richard O'Neill, a handsome though solitary man. Despite the attraction between them, Mary's not looking for love, and when she hears that Frank needs her, she returns to Liverpool, foreseeing a future of yet more hardship.
But there are surprises in store. Though tragedy and danger are looming, a brighter horizon lies beyond - if Mary's prepared to be strong and take the chances that come her way...

'What a truly enlightening story from heartbreak to untold hardships to finally find true love - beautiful'
'Five stars'

a good book reflecting thr true spirit of a wife who remains faithful till the end...no matter how hard life becomes even after she gets a home of her own and a promise for a bright future. a character novel with beautiful description of the psychological tensoins of an accomplished wife who has to bear all the drudgery of New York slums. and to top it all she has to bear jealous disposition of a complete failure......her husband. the setting of the novel with historical references to Irish freedom movement is an added advantage rendering this book a compelling read. HAPPY READING!

About the author
Lyn Andrews was born in Liverpool in 1944; her father Joseph was killed on D-Day just nine months later. Lyn was brought up in Liverpool and became a secretary before she married and gave birth to triplets. Once the children had gone to school Lyn began writing, and her first novel was quickly accepted for publication. She has since written over thirty books, many of them Sunday Times bestsellers. Lyn lives on the Isle of Man, but spends many weeks of the year back on Merseyside, seeing her children and grandchildren. www.lynandrewsbooks.co.uk Facebook: @LynAndrewsBooks Twitter: @lynandrewsbooks
