A Daughter's Dream - by Maggie Mason (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Blackpool, 1904

When young Elisha loses her parents, she clings to Primula Cottage - the only home her family has ever known. Once filled with love and laughter under her grandmother Millicent's care, it's now a place of peril under her Uncle Joe's cruel temper and dangerous threats.

Elisha dreams of restoring the cottage's thriving market garden with Jack, a gentle labourer who brings her hope. Together, they imagine a future of love, family, and prosperity. But when tragedy strikes, Elisha's dreams are torn away, forcing her into the brutal life of the workhouse. Her only solace comes from Harriet, a young widow with her own sorrows to bear.

As the years pass, and through heartbreak and hardship, Elisha fights to reclaim her home and her family's legacy. But can one young woman's wish truly overcome a lifetime of struggle?

A gripping and heartrending saga, perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Katie Flynn, and Dilly Court.
