I very much enjoyed this book. It has a good story and excellent main characters. I would definately recommend this book.

Martha and Seb are landlords of the Tree Feathers pub in Hillsbridge, Somerset .They have three sons. The eldest son, Garth is a trouble to them and Martha despairs of him and the question of nature verses nurture enters the story.
One night they discover two little girls sleeping in their barn. These girls Ella and Jeanie have had a heartbreaking life and have just escaped from the poorhouse helped by their friend Leo. Martha welcomes the girls into her family and swears to keep them both safe.
Things take a turn for the worse when Garth finds out the truth of his heritage and mixes with the wrong people. It's the start of a chain of events that will affect all Martha's family and Martha herself most of all..
Can a face from the past save them or will Martha have to make the ultimate sacrifice ?

Jennie Felton knows how to tell a cracking story and keep the reader gripped. All her characters are so beautifully described that reading their words is like seeing it on film. I was gripped throughout the book as one event followed the other.
There are characters you will love and ones you will hate and the search for justice for the ones you love will carry on throughout the book..
if you are missing reading books in the style of Catherine Cookston then this one is for you.

all these characters blend into this book as the story unfolds, and I found myself engrossed, that is beautifully written, I enjoyed every chapter. This author captures all the moments to keep you turning the pages. I loved it
