Lakeland Sagas by Freda Lightfoot
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 7.2 Mb
Overview: Born in Lancashire, I’ve been a teacher, bookseller and in a mad moment, a smallholder on the freezing fells of the Lake District where I tried my hand at the ‘good life’, kept sheep and hens, various orphaned cats and dogs, built drystone walls, planted a small wood and even learned how to make jam. I now spend the winter in Spain and summer in the UK. I have now published 48 books including many bestselling family sagas and historical novels.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
Gracie’s Sin

But their enemy is the War, and faith and friendship are tested to the utmost.
Kitty Little
Three girls are seeking escape. Each of them is captivated by the travelling theater, each is pretending to be someone she is not, and all are in love with the same man. Katherine is escaping her marriage and throws herself into an acting career, Charlotte can have any man she wants, and she wants Archie—whoever is standing in her way, and Esme is relishing in the theater life as a stark contrast to her life as a parson’s daughter.

Now it is Lily who must protect herself against the threat of vengeance and decide who is more important, her husband or her lover.
