Kingston Kate (CH) (Charnwood Large Print Library Series)

'A natural, with a great sense of place' - BERYL KINGSTON With her red hair, sparkling eyes and shapely figure, Kate Kearsley appeared to be a very lucky young woman. The daughter of a successful boat yard owner in a charming hamlet near Kingston-upon-Thames, she saw good in everyone. But Kate was anything but lucky. In 1905, sixteen years before, her brother David had drowned in the Thames, but time had not healed the wounds of her grieving parents, nor lessened the violence meted out by her guilt-ridden father to his long-suffering wife. When Kate herself becomes a victim, Hilda Kearsley can take no more. Kate, so suddenly an orphan, is devastated. What is to become of her?
