⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Bella has spent her whole life fighting for everything in the workhouse.  Bullying from some of the other girls often sparks her hair trigger temper and gets her into trouble.  The only person who tries to help is the teacher, who knows Bella could better herself with a little help.
Jack is the factory owner's son and enjoys working there tinkering with the machinery. A misunderstanding with the new school teacher will make him rethink his attitude about Class in society. 
A family secret will change everyone's lives but is that good or bad.  
Unusual and very entertaining.

Elizabeth Keysian is an English archaeologist, teacher and museum curator. She first started writing "long stories" when her headmaster father needed something to keep her quiet during school summer holidays. In her teenage years she produced angst-ridden poetry, slightly disturbing sketches for an amateur dramatics group and even her own magazine, to the mixed delight and consternation of her friends.
After completing her History degree, Elizabeth joined an English Civil War re-enactment group, messed about with the Middle Ages and finally settled to an enjoyable reconstruction of Tudor Daily Life at Kentwell Hall in Suffolk.
Her imagination was further inspired by living for seven years on a Knights Templar estate, with a garage full of skeletons, a resident ghost and a moat teeming with newts. She now lives near Bath with her partner and cats.
Elizabeth likes to keep her historical novels atmospheric and authentic, with both tears and laughter along the way. She loves to hear from readers.
