The Other Place

The Lady Amelia Saga, Book 3

The best intentions. Poor decisions. Now her family must suffer.

1790 – The year Keziah Bonner and her younger brother, Henry, exchange one nightmare for another. When their elder sister, Eva, is transported for a crime she didn't commit, Keziah and Henry are sent to a London workhouse and separated. The prospect of work and a home in the countryside is offered and both Keziah and Henry leap at the chance. However, the promised job in the cotton mill is relentless, backbreaking work.

Keziah believes she's discovered a way to escape the drudgery, until Matthew Gregory, the charismatic but irresponsible nephew of the mill owner, shows his interest in her. Sadly, his attempts to woo Keziah – however well-intentioned – result in trouble.

Is Matthew yet another of her poor choices or will he be a major triumph?
