The Lost and Found Girl is a story set in Victorian England and begins with Beth, who thought she had been rescued from the life of a servant by an offer of marriage from gentleman farmer, Edgar. Beth is not treated well and her babies, Daisy and James, are taken from her to be brought up separately in very different homes. James is adopted by Edgar’s uncle, wealthy Lord Redfern, master of Redfern Abbey. But Daisy is sent to a cold-hearted childless couple who treat her as a maid rather than a daughter. When Daisy, at sixteen, finally escapes her hard life with her adoptive brother Boyd they arrive at Redfern Abbey seeking work and refuge. Little does Daisy know that her real flesh and blood is the next in line to be lord of the Abbey! There is a strange connection between Daisy and James, something they can neither explain nor ignore. But will the truth be discovered in time?
The Lost and Found Girl is the story of a family bond overcoming all obstacles. It is full of heart-warming characters and heart-breaking twists that will keep you turning the pages. I am sure you will enjoy reading it. It is my sixth historical novel set in nineteenth century England. My books are set mainly in the county of Yorkshire, an industrial area where coal mines and steel works thrived alongside farms, forests and waterways. My second title Silk and Steel was shortlisted for The Romantic Novel of the Year Award in 2008. Details of all my books are on my website http://www.catherineking.info My next book is called The Secret Daughter and will be published in paperback on 8th November 2012.
