' Following a scandalous affair, wayward Emma Devaney is sent in disgrace from her home in Ireland to Ryhope, where she will live with her widowed aunt, Bessie Brogan, and help run her pub. Bessie is kind but firm, and at first Emma rebels against her lack of freedom. Struggling to fit in, she turns to the wrong person for comfort, and becomes pregnant. Accepting she must embrace her new life for the sake of her baby, Emma pours her energy into making the pub thrive and helping heal the fractured relationship between Bessie and her daughters. She catches the attention of Robert, a gruff but sincere farmer, who means to win her heart. As December approaches, thankful for the home and acceptance she' s found, Emma is determined to bring not just her family, but the whole Ryhope community, together to celebrate - and to make one very special mother' s Christmas dreams come true. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the world of historical saga writers, there' s a brand new voice * My Weekly * I really enjoyed Glenda' s novel. It' s well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters -- Rosie Goodwin Will resonate with saga readers everywhere. . . a wonderful, uplifting story -- Nancy Revell All the ingredients for a perfect saga and I loved Meg; she' s such a strong and believable character. A fantastic debut -- Emma Hornby Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life and Meg is a likeable, loving heroine for whom the reader roots from start to finish -- Jenny Holmes I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I' ve read -- Margaret Kaine
Glenda Young credits her local library in the village of Ryhope, where she grew up, for giving her a love of books. She still lives close by in Sunderland and often gets her ideas for her stories on long bike rides along the coast. A life-long fan of Coronation Street, she runs two hugely popular fan websites.
