Summary

The second in the heartwarming Lancashire saga series that began with Salem Street, by beloved author Anna Jacobs.

In 1845 Annie Gibson can finally leave Salem Street. Her dreams of being able to open an elegant dressmaking salon in the High Street of Bilsden, a Lancashire mill town, have come true. And she is going to take her father and his second family with her, away from poverty, away from the Rows.

But Annie has not left trouble behind. Someone is trying to undermine her business. Her family have their own ideas about what they want to do with their lives. And several men are persistently trying to win favour with the beautiful young widow - including Frederick Hallam, the mill owner, and Daniel O'Connor, her childhood friend.

As Annie gets better acquainted with both, she becomes increasingly confused about her feelings. Can she really be in love? And can she risk trusting any man again?

Love the Gibdon family

Loved the first, then this & now can't wait to start the 3rd book.
I'm am absolute sucker for a good, rags to riches with abundance of love & struggle story.
These are the first Anna Jacob's stories I've had & she hasn't disappointed.
Narrative really good too.

Better than anticipated!

I bought this after reading the first in the series. I was a little apprehensive that this follow up would be all about her dress shop but it wasn't. Although the shop had its place in the story line, it turned out to be SO much more than that with lots of other things going on that had me gripped to the end. It was so wonderfully written that i was never confused , lost, or had to back track once. The whole thing flowed beautifully intertwining everyone's lives & dramas to a satisfying end. But of course there is more to come in book 3, which I am off to purchase right now!

Fabulous listen

I absolutely loved this book. It was even better than the first in the series. I’m looking forward to the third. As ever the incredible Anne Dover’s narration brings the characters alive with her wonderful story telling. She just sweeps you away into the novel.

Lovely read.

I just can't get enough of Anna Jacobs books. And this is no exception. A story of a rise from poverty through hard work and tenacity against all odds. Definitely going to get the following books in this series.
