Description

Emily Redfern is seven years of age when she goes to live with her father, Danny, and volatile stepmother, Betty, in the vibrant world of Travelling People. And it's a world far removed from the one she's known on a farm outside Lancaster, called Jenny Wren Cottage. But her grandmother has died; things have changed; this is where her future lies now. As she learns to come to terms with her new life and the challenges it brings, she forms a close bond with her father and new brother, David, when he arrives. But her heart will always remain at her ?real home?, Jenny Wren Cottage. Little does she know of the past and her father's private struggle with a love that transcends death. When she meets the ambitious young Nick on a fleeting visit, her loyalties are severely tested. However, there's a devious man amongst them, and it's his actions that will ultimately decide both futures. Spanning the 60s and 70s, this is a heart-rending story of pride, prejudices, and conflicting traditions?told with humour, wit and candour.
