Women Of Iron (Paperback, New Ed)

Set against the harsh and gritty background of the Industrial
Revolution, this is a story of poverty and star-crossed love, of
sexual exploitation and deceit, of greed, murder, and revenge.
Luther Dearne has made a fortune wheeling and dealing with the
wealthy ironmasters of South Riding--and by cheating the Swedish
shippers who bring their iron to sell in England. Rich, powerful,
and apparently above the law, he has everything his heart
desires--except children. When one day a woman turns up in the
tavern with an orphaned little girl for sale, Luther does not
hesitate and buys her. Little does he know what he has done for
this child, Lissie, with her great beauty and mysterious origins,
whom his wife hates at first sight, will prove to be both his
greatest joy, his deepest heartache, and eventually his undoing. A
search for her roots--her father, grandfather, and
great-grandfather all worked with coal, steel, or iron--and as
interest in local industrial history provide inspiration for her
stories.
