Description

Jane was fifteen, pregnant, and abandoned by her sweetheart and seducer, George Hudson, when she fled her small Yorkshire village in disgrace.

She makes her way in the world and raises her daughter Milly with love. All the while swearing to one day take revenge on the cruel man who deserted her.

Years later, Jane and Milly manage to find work together… work that just happens to be in the Hudson household.

When George and Jane cross paths again will she finally exact her revenge? Or will time and the promise of new love prove to heal all wounds?

Best-selling author, Beryl Kingston, weaves the true account of railway mogul George Hudson with a story of love, betrayal and eventually hope against the backdrop of Victorian England during the rail network boom.


Off the Rails was first published in 2011.

Off The Rails is historical fiction. Imagine having a baby at 15. The father is long gone. Years later, you and your child are working in a mansion that belongs to the father, and he doesn't recognize you. It's very sad and just made me angry. What would you do? The story is engaging and intriguing, unfolding at a good pace with enough to keep you guessing. The heroine is intelligent and strong. It's quite an interesting read. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! George Hudson gets fifteen year old Jane pregnant. To her shame, she is forced to leave her small village. She has her daughter, Milly, and raises her. Milly is well loved and has a good childhood. Meanwhile, George becomes a very rich, arrogant leader in the railroad industry. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Years later, Jane and Milly end up working in George's house. This is the story of what happens when they reconnect. Highly recommend!
