The Lady

This is a story set in a turbulent Cornwall at a time of hunger and crime, but out of desperation, there was also love, laughter and a bond, starting with a wilful girl and her adoring father, who left her far too early, leaving a legacy behind.

In the care of trusted friends, she grew up happy and spirited, surrounded by her loving and yet vigilant guardians.

Despite their vigilance, 'the lady' made a poor choice in a husband. They had two beautiful children just before he met an untimely end, which left more questions than answers and again, the lady is alone. A stranger enters her life. Is he a friend or foe?

With love, murder, sadness and bravery, the little group get through the hard winter to face another spring.
