Audrey Howard 
Woman From Browhead 
The first volume in an enthralling Lake District saga that continues with ANNIE’S GIRL.

Annie Abbott, daughter and only child of a poverty-stricken hill farmer and his downtrodden wife, who runs away with a theatrical group at the age of 15. Eventually hearing that her parents have died, Annie returns to the Lakes to claim the farm. But now she has an illegitimate daughter — and virtually no one will speak to her. Only a local landowner, who is engaged to marry another woman, comes to help her.Praise for Audrey Howard’A joy to read . . . .
