Synopsis
A heart-warming Christmas book from the author of Wartime Brides and Coronation Wives.
Magda Brodie's world is torn apart when her mother dies in the workhouse two weeks before Christmas. With her father unwilling to house her, she is left destitute, and separated from her two sisters and baby brother. Her new abode is dark and grim, and her Aunt Bridget -- with whom she is now living -- holds a bitter resentment towards her and her siblings, and seems determined on keeping them apart. As the harsh winter gets ever more brutal, will she ever be reunited with her family?

About the Author
LIZZIE LANE's first writing job was compiling the instructions for flat pack kitchens! She apologises for any confusion caused but it's not as easy as you might think. As a child she made up stories off the top of her head for her siblings, pretended at school that she couldn't read -- Janet and John just didn't inspire her -- whilst reading the Greek Legends and Grimms' Fairy Tales at home. It was an American author friend who suggested that Lizzie turned her hand to writing, so she did, drawing a great deal on her mother's history; her mother was also a great story teller, plus she'd always had a great love of history, books and anything that stirred the imagination. Lizzie currently lives with her husband on a 46ft sailing yacht, dividing her time between Bath and the Med. Sometimes they mix with the jet set and sometimes they just chill out in a bay with a computer, a warm breeze and a gin and tonic!
