The Secret Child: an emotional and gripping historical saga

Lynne Francis

A gripping saga of love, betrayal and secrets that can’t stay hidden … perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Libby Ashworth and Rosie Goodwin.

Kent, 1814

Respectably married Molly Dawson lives with her husband, head gardener Charlie, on the Woodchurch Manor estate, where they have brought up three delightful daughters. Her life appears idyllic … but she has suffered the torment of a secret since she was eighteen years old.

When a young stranger, fresh out of the Navy, appears at the estate’s annual garden party, Molly’s life is set to change again, and her close-held secret threatens to break free.

Could he be a suitable match for one of her daughters? Or is this charming young man a threat to her hard-won happiness?

Can Molly ever overcome the consequences of a decision she made long ago to find true joy and fulfilment at last?
