Tildy

From the moment she meets handsome and violent Tom Crawford, Tildy Seymour knows her life will never be the same.

Heavily pregnant, Tildy finds herself with no recourse but to marry the father of her baby — only to find themselves in the same day homeless, jobless, and penniless. 

With nothing left to them, the newlyweds must return to Tom’s birthplace of the Sidemoor in the Midlands, a savage and oppressed community of nail-makers.

Surrounded by misery, saddled with a husband she despises, and desperate to build a future more positive than her own for her unborn child, Tildy holds her head high, refusing to be daunted, and faces all that her new life throws at her.

Tildy is the first of an eight book series following the eponymous heroine’s struggles against a harsh world. 

Sara Fraser is the pen-name of marine commando and foreign legionnaire Roy Clews. Fraser is the author of The Surgeon’s Apprentice, Til Death Do us Part and The Healing Nightfall , among many others. Fraser has written a number of mysteries as well as a number of novels influenced by a life of travel and work all over the world.
