The Cobbler’s Daughter
A moving tale of hardship, love, and resilience in the heart of Victorian England.
1874, Lancashire—With her father’s cobbler shop failing and his health fading fast, Annie Sutherland has no choice but to take on the burden of keeping a roof over their heads. But times are changing, and fine handcrafted boots are losing out to cheap factory-made goods. With customers dwindling and the landlord’s threats growing louder, Annie’s world is closing in.
Then there’s Tom Hartley, a mill worker with troubles of his own. A man who knows what it is to struggle, to go without, to fight for every penny. When fate throws them together, Tom sees Annie’s pride and stubbornness for what they truly are—desperation. And though she doesn’t want his help, he can’t stand by and watch her lose everything. But help comes with a price, and when ruthless moneylender Silas Drake offers Annie an escape at a cost she dares not name, she is faced with an impossible choice. Take the devil’s bargain, or risk everything to hold on to the only life she’s ever known.
A tale of love found in the darkest of times, of dignity and defiance in the face of ruin. Perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson and Dilly Court, Sybil Cook’s latest saga will have you turning the pages late into the night.
