Joanne

By: Susan Leona Fisher

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Joanne Gifford has lived most of her life in the Devonshire seaside town of Stowmouth. Her father is the local vicar and she is the eldest of eight children. She left school when her mother died and took over the running of the household and the care of her younger siblings. At twenty-eight, with the youngest three still at home, she doesn’t see a time when she’ll ever be free of her responsibilities and able to develop a life of her own. Then handsome Swiss architect, Liam Keller, arrives in town, bent on acquiring a run-down Victorian hotel for his family’s five-star chain, and by chance encounters Joanne. There is competition to acquire the hotel and considerable local feeling against change and outsiders coming in. Liam departs, having concluded it might be more trouble than it’s worth, but he can’t get Joanne out of his head. Can he find a way to see her again? Will she be able to fit a relationship into her busy life?
