Book description
Sara Hamilton loves Jack Andews from the moment he risks his life to
rescue her. As she nurses him back to health, the gently-reared doctor's
daughter and the softly-spoken railway labourer discover an innocent yet
steadfast passion. But Sara's snobbish sister Alice hates Jack and all
he stands for. When their father dies and leaves the sisters penniless
and homeless, Alice is the one who decides they will go to Liverpool and
make their fortunes as dressmakers. And ensures that Jack will never
find Sara Hamilton again. Soon they have found the security that Alice
craves. But then Jack Andrews - now a successful railway engineer -
comes to Liverpool. And Sara, who has never forgotten him, has grown
from a shy girl to a passionate woman with a mind of her own. Audrey
Howard was born in Liverpool in 1929. Before she began to write she had
a variety of jobs, among them hairdresser, model, shop assistant,
cleaner and civil servant. In 1981, while living in Australia, she wrote
the first of her bestselling novels. She lives in St Anne's on Sea, her
childhood home.
