Determined to restore the businesses to their former glory, by the time she turns twenty-three she is running them as confidently as any man. But despite her success, trouble is looming.

Then, when young Lily Whitmore comes to her after her husband – an overseer in one of Bridget’s factories – has wrongly been tried for his brother’s murder, Bridget has no choice but to help.

If Lily’s husband didn’t kill his brother, who did?The decisions Bridget makes will shape the lives of generations to come. Can her family overcome the darkness of the past to find new happiness?Catherine Cookson was the original and bestselling saga writer, selling over 100 million copies of her novels.
