Weaver’s Daughter 

The Weaver’s Daughter was first published in paperback under the name Donna Baker.In the 1800s in the Midlands, it’s a hard life for the weavers of Kidderminster – beautiful carpets spring from the looms they work, but life is not always so neatly woven.So it is for the Himley family – already struggling to get by, they must find a way of coping when their daughter, Bessie, is raped and disappears with her brother Tom to London, suspected of murder. But hope comes in the form of Rebecca, their youngest daughter. A job in service for the Pagnel family, owners of the carpet factory, means a chance of different life for Rebecca. As she gradually rises to the position of housemaid, she gets a glimpse of a world far removed from that she was born to. When love beckons, she is unsure – following your heart can be dangerous, and for Becky will it be her saving or her downfall?
