A Scottish saga of hope and overcoming adversity from Sunday Times bestselling author Evelyn Hood! Perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson, Katie Flynn and Val Wood ❤️ Can a simple fisher lass rise above adversity to realise her ambitions? Buckthorne Scotland, 1873 All alone, following her mother's death, seventeen-year-old Eden Murray returns to her deceased father's fishing village in search if her roots and a future. Eden has worked in the fishing industry since the age of twelve and is soon employed by local businesswoman Euphemia Ross. Her Uncle Caleb provides her a home out of a sense of duty when Eden is subjected to the unwanted advances of her cousin, John. Much to Euphemia's annoyance, Eden and her son Lewis Ross strike up a friendship. But Euphemia has grander plans for her son and is hostile towards Eden in preventing them ever having a future together. Eden sets her own ambitions higher than being a simple fisher lass but soon learns a terrible secret and is cast off by the family. But good fortune favours Eden when an unexpected inheritance changes the course of her life. Suddenly she has the means and determination to fight back against those who have wronged her. But can a hastily made marriage vow to the wrong man and her continued longing for Lewis Ross threaten the business she is building?

Autorenporträt
Sunday Times bestselling author, Evelyn Hood was best known for her Scottish family sagas set in her hometown of Paisley (Renfrewshire) and on the Clyde Coast, where she also lived. Her seven-volume Prior's Ford books are set in a modern-day fictitious village in Dumfries and Galloway.

Throughout her distinguished career, she published more than 40 novels, numerous short stories, as well as plays, pantomimes, musicals, and poems. She also authored "Forward by Degrees," a commissioned history of the University of Paisley, and "Mill Memories; Interviews with Former Employees of Paisley's Thread Mills," which preserves the legacy of the town's textile industry. A former journalist, Evelyn wrote under several pen names, including Eve Houston, Elizabeth A. Webster, Louise James, and Evelyn Steel.

Passionate about literature and the arts, Evelyn frequently adjudicated competitions, gave public readings, and mentored emerging writers. She was also deeply involved in amateur dramatics in Paisley, directing musicals and plays.

Evelyn Hood passed away in Ayrshire in 2023, but the legacy of her writing continues, inspiring a generation of saga writers and touching reader's hearts worldwide.
