Where there's a rulebook, there's a rebel...Ruby McBride has always
been on the wrong side of authority. The grand opening of the
Manchester Ship Canal is set to be a day of unfettered festivity
for Ruby and her younger sister and brother. Even Queen Victoria
will be in attendance. But the glories of the ceremony fade into
insignificance when their dying mother delivers them to the
imposing oak doors of Ignatius House. Abandoned in the
not-so-tender care of the nuns, the siblings are soon separated. So
when the Board of Guardians force Ruby into a marriage that sends
her to a new home upon the Salford waterways, she makes only one
vow: to reunite her family whatever the cost. This is an
enthralling story of romance and rebellion perfect for fans of
Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court. Praise for Ruby McBride 'An
inspiring novel about accepting change and bravely facing the
future' Bangor Chronicle 'Compelling and heart-wrenching' Hull
Daily Mail 'The kind of character-driven saga that delights the
Catherine Cookson and Josephine Cox audience' Peterborough Evening
Telegraph 'This book deals with gritty, real-life situations and
shows how the heroine's strength of character triumphs through
adversity' 5* Reader review
