Book description
Following the loss of her fiancé in WW1, a devastated Flora Ferguson
arrives in Southampton, alone and desolate. With the love of her life
gone for ever, she determines to devote herself to the street-children
who live around the docks and to free them from their poverty and
squalor. But through this sacrifice comes unexpected fulfilment, for not
only does Flora find her work wonderfully rewarding, but she finds a new
degree of happiness through her friendship with the handsome and
dedicated Dr Richard Goodwin - a man who shares her compassion and
desire to help. Comforted by their closeness, Flora pushes away the
thought that if only Richard weren't married to the spoilt and selfish
Lydia, he may have been the one to mend her broken heart... broken
heart... June Tate was born in Southampton. After leaving school she
became a hairdresser and spent several years working on cruise ships,
first on the Queen Mary and then on the Mauritania, meeting many
Hollywood film stars and VIPs on her travels. After her marriage to an
airline pilot, she lived in Sussex and Hampshire before moving to
Estoril in Portugal. June, who has two adult daughters, now lives in
Sussex.
