Highway Girl

Highway Girl

 

cover - Highway GirlIt’s 1670. Susannah Makepeace and her brother Dominic, now orphans, are forced to flee their Devon home. Susannah must live on the charity of distant relations, but that’s not for Dominic. Fiercely independent, he sails for America and, when he’s made his fortune, he’ll come back for his sister. But when Susannah receives news that Dominic is dangerously ill, she will do anything to get the money she desperately needs to save him. Anything...

Researching this book took me to the beautiful Devon village where my father was born. I imagine that some of the old cottages look much the same as they would have done in Susannah’s time. In historical terms, that wasn’t so long ago but, for her, it was a different world.
