Book description
One of Lyn Andrews' first eight novels, transferring from the original
publisher to Headline; already steady sellers, they will be targeted for
a huge increase in sales. Maggie May, born into the slums of Liverpool
in the 1880s, had many difficulties to cope with - a drunken father, the
early death of her gentle mother, and the grinding poverty of their
lives. But most of all, she had to endure the shame of her name - that
of the city's most notorious prostitute. Taking care of her younger
brother and desperately trying to live down her name, Maggie manages to
escape from Liverpool to enjoy an idyllic new life. But fate forces her
back again and into the arms of a stranger who is to bring her both
heartbreak and the greatest happiness she will ever know. Lyn Andrews
is one of the UK's top one hundred bestselling authors, reaching No. 1
on the Sunday Times paperback bestseller list. Born and brought up in
Liverpool, she is the daughter of a policeman and also married a
policeman. After becoming the mother of triplets, she took some time off
from her writing whilst she raised her children. Shortlisted for the RNA
Romantic Novel of the Year Award in 1993, she has now written
twenty-eight hugely successful novels. Lyn Andrews divides her time
between Merseyside and Ireland.
