Description

After being driven from home by their brutal father, the Willett sisters find themselves facing greater heartache in the wider world.

Nell, the middle daughter, has left home to be with her lover, Cliff, fearing what reprisals might come from marrying against her father's wishes. The couple head for Lancashire, but Nell's happiness is short-lived.

A gypsy palm-reader tells her she will still find her destiny, under three big trees on a hill, and her luck does seem to change when she meets Hugh, a farmer and a gentleman to whom she can't help but feel drawn. Could the trees on his land be a sign, or will Nell be too damaged by her past to let herself love again?

About the Author

Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She is addicted to writing and she figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years.
