Rosie Goodwin . Bonnier Zaffre . English
Nuneaton, 1880. Twenty-year-old Daisy Armstrong lives a happy life with her devoted father, Jed. The two share a close bond—especially after the loss of Daisy’s beloved Irish mother and younger brother. But when Jed falls in love with a local widow, everything changes. With expensive tastes and a love of luxury, the widow and her spoiled son, Gilbert, are quick to show their disdain for Jed and Daisy’s modest forge. Daisy works herself to exhaustion trying to keep their busy household running, and the only comfort she finds is in Lewis—the widow’s other son, a kind and hardworking young man. When tragedy strikes, Daisy’s life is turned upside down, and she’s sent away from home. Heartbroken and alone, she must summon incredible strength to survive. Through hardship and resilience, she begins to rebuild her life—but can she ever find her way back to Nuneaton and the happiness she so desperately deserves?

About the Author
Rosie Goodwin is the author of over forty bestselling novels and a Sunday Times bestseller. She is the first author in the world to be allowed to follow three of Catherine Cookson's trilogies with her own sequels. Hello, thank you for visiting my author page. I have always loved to write. My children were weaned on stories I wrote for them. I was a foster carer for many years and during that time I cared for dozens of children and young people. I was also a placement support worker for our department, so with two jobs, numerous children and numerous animals and a home to run it was a busy time. It was my husband who first suggested I should attempt writing a novel and I actually wrote my first two and a half books long hand sitting in our touring caravan in the back garden. Eventually I was lucky enough to secure an agent and it all went from there and my first book was published in 2004. Catherine Cookson was my inspiration so it seemed natural for me to write sagas too. I think they are the only genre where you can toss anything into the pot. Murder and romance can all live together to make for a pacy story, which is probably why I still love what I'm doing. I don't have a set format; I try to make each book individual and sometimes even I don't know where they're going when I begin a new one. I love it when the main character comes to life for me and then I tend to let them take over and let the story go where it will. I have written books on a number of different themes; the more contemporary ones that tend to delve into more topical subjects, a couple of ghost stories as well as books that centre around World Wars 1 and 2. Recently I have completed a few different historical series, including the days of the week series, the precious stones series and currently the flower girls series. In my spare time I love gardening, and spending time at our holiday home at the coast with my husband and dogs, all four of them, I'm afraid I'm a lost cause for waifs and strays, and spending time with my lovely grandchildren. Hopefully there will be something to appeal to each of you amongst my titles, there are over forty of them available now and I do hope that if you read them you will enjoy reading them as much as I loved writing them. Very best wishes Rosie Goodwin
