**Don't miss Emma Hornby's gripping new wartime saga, A DAUGHTER'S
WAR - out now** ---------------------------- Gritty and
page-turning historical saga set in Northern England in the late
1800s, for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin. Minnie Maddox
cares deeply for mothers and their babies - she makes a living by
taking in unwanted children and finding them good adoptive homes -
and is delighted for her neighbour when she finally becomes a
mother after decades of trying. But when the baby dies of natural
causes while under her roof, and knowing her neighbour will be
devastated, Minnie swaps it with one of the infants in her care.
Now seventeen, Jewel Nightingale knows nothing of her true origins.
But assaulted by her hateful cousin and making the dreadful
discovery that she is pregnant, she faces a desperate dilemma.
Fleeing her job as a domestic maid, she follows an advertisement to
a house in Bolton's dark slums, where a woman promises to help her
when the child is born. Little does Jewel know that there's a
terrible price to pay . . . Can she keep herself - and her baby -
safe? And what will happen when Jewel discovers the truth about
where she came from? ---------------------------- Readers love Emma
Hornby: 'Similar to Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court, Emma Hornby
tells a brilliant story that will keep you guessing with twists and
turns. Pure talent.' 'Emma Hornby's books just keep getting better
and better. Honest, gritty, lovely characters.' 'Keep writing Emma,

them all.' 'Emma is a wonderful storyteller and I can't wait for
the next one!' 'Thank you again Emma Hornby for a captivating read'
