Book description
Never Look Back is the latest from bestselling author Lesley Pearse.
One good deed takes her into another world . . .
Sixteen-year-old Matilda is a poor Covent Garden flower girl until
the day she saves the life of Tabitha, a minister's daughter. Welcomed
into Tabitha's family, Matilda is offered the chance of a lifetime.
She leaves behind London's slums and enters the darkest corners of
New York. And she travels across the plains to the Wild West, where
San Francisco is in the grip of the gold rush.
Streetwise and strong-willed, Matilda forges a new life for herself
and Tabitha among pioneers like Captain James Russell - a man to whom
she is deeply attracted. Yet a civil war will soon rip apart this new
nation.
Can Matilda and those she loves brave separation and carry on, never
looking back?
Lesley Pearse is the author of bestsellers Gypsy and
Remember Me. Never Look Back is a historical novel of
love and survival at the time of the American Civil War. Fans of Susan
Lewis will love the way Lesley Pearse weaves her plots and characters
together.
