1905 INDIA. Clarissa Belhaven and her younger sister Olive live a charmed and carefree life on their father's thriving plantation. But when the business begins to fail, their happiness is threatened. Wesley Robson, a brash young rival businessman, offers to help save the plantation in exchange for beautiful Clarrie's hand in marriage, but her father flatly refuses. And when Mr Belhaven dies suddenly, his daughters are forced to return to their father's family in Tyneside.
In Newcastle, Clarrie is shocked by the dire poverty she witnesses, and dreams of opening her own tea room, which could be a safe haven for the locals. But her idea is dismissed as hair-brained by her family and, in order to provide for herself and Olive, she takes a job as housekeeper for kindly lawyer Herbert Stock. With Herbert's support, Clarrie finds she can achieve her dream, and she opens her own tea house. But Herbert's vindictive son Bertie, jealous of Clarrie's popularity,
is determined to bring about her downfall.
Then Wesley Robson comes back into Clarrie's life, bringing with him a shocking revelation and the power to change her world for ever...

Readers E-mails:
“It's
Outstanding!!!
The
character of Clarrie
Belhaven
leaps
off the page as a truly believable heroine who inspired
sympathy.
The chapters leading up to the girls leaving India are
in particular deeply moving and I confess to having had a lump in my
throat as I read. It's one of those books that you can read
voraciously and yet you don't want it to end. It would make great
Sunday night television...”

Not
normally given to e-mail authors but must tell you what a fantastic
story. I thought I had done with romantic/historical fiction, you
have changed my mind. Will there be a follow up?
