Ella's Journey (The Mill Valley Girls, Book 2)

Description

Ella is trying to put the past behind her... but the past won't always stay hidden. The truth is, Ella is hiding from a scandal. A scandal that drove her family out of their beloved Lane End Cottage in the tiny Yorkshire village they had lived in all their lives. A scandal that her sister Alice was blamed for. But Alice is no longer here. So it's up to Ella to pick up the pieces and do the best she can for the family she loves so dearly. Ella's luck finally changes when she gains work at Grange House, a gentleman's residence on the outskirts of York. But can she keep her position there? Or will she follow in her elder sister's footsteps? A gripping new saga series that fans of Dilly Court and Valerie Wood will adore.

Lynne Francis grew up in Yorkshire, the setting for The Mill Valley Girls novels. She has a degree in English Literature from London University and worked in a variety of jobs after leaving school and university, including a pickle factory, a bacon factory, the Famous Army Stores and Harrods, before settling on non-fiction publishing as a career. By then living in London she spent more years than she cares to remember working her way up from editorial assistant to co-running a small publishing company, before returning to Yorkshire on an Arvon creative writing course once her three children had left home. She now lives in a Kent cottage along a tiny lane not far from the sea, dividing her time between writing, walking and enjoying the countryside.
