Book description
Following the fortunes of some of the much-loved characters from her
bestseller 'The Journey', Josephine Cox's powerful novel spans
continents, decades and generations of one family.
Like a ghost from the past, she walked along the platform towards them…
It has been over twenty years since Vicky Maitland set foot on English
soil. Twenty years since she left Liverpool with her three children,
bound for a new life in America, leaving her beloved husband Barney behind.
But this long journey home is the hardest of all. She is here in search
of the truth, afraid of what she may find. Why did Barney turn against
his family so suddenly, so cruelly? Only her old friend Lucy Baker knows
what happened. And Lucy promised Barney she would never tell his secret.
Is it time she broke her silence and explained the events of so long
ago? 'This latest novel from the nation's biggest-selling saga writer
is…one for true romantics.' You

'Impossible to resist.' Woman's Realm 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.
