Cherrybrook Rose
by Tania Crosse
A gripping tale of love and self-sacrifice set on wild DartmoorThe year is 1875, when life high up on Dartmoor is harsh and unforgiving. Beautiful, vivacious and compassionate, Rose Maddiford could have any husband she chooses, but she is devoted to only one man, her father, manager of the gunpowder mills at Cherrybrook. When tragedy strikes, it seems that despite Rose's determined efforts, there is only one way to hold the family together. But it is a solution that requires the greatest sacrifice from Rose. Like a lamb to slaughter, she finds herself trapped in an impossible situation. Solace comes from the most unlikely source, but what future can there be for two lost souls whose lives have been shattered by the cruel hand of fate? Perhaps, though, the answer lies in the very place Rose has not looked, and there is hope for her after all.
