A Daughter's Wish

London, 1902. When Thomas Grant - one of the most eligible young men in London - proposes to Annabel Seaton, she can't say she's surprised, but she is delighted. He's been her best friend, apart from her beloved sister Millie, since she was a child, and she can't imagine life without either of them. What shocks her, however, is the reaction of her mother and father. Annabel knows that her parents disapprove of her forthright opinions and her careless attitude towards her personal appearance, but their displeasure is both unexpected and unaccountable. As they permit the engagement, however, she decides to put it out of her mind and look forward to much future happiness with the man she loves. However, before she can be married, tragedy strikes, and only then does Annabel learn of the shocking secret that her parents have kept from her. Her world turned upside down, and her engagement at an end, she travels to Durham on a personal search that will be the making - or the breaking - of her.
