      About This Book

      From the multi-award winning novelist whose writing style has been compared with Catherine Cookson.

      Winner of an IndieBRAG medallion and a Chill with a Book Readers' Award.

      Like making lace - she pieces together a new life from a single thread of hope. 
      Brigid is torn. If she stays, she is another mouth to feed in a land plagued by starvation and poverty. If she leaves her beloved Ireland, she will never see her family again, but leave she must. There is not enough food.
      Heartbroken, she boards the ship that will take her to a new life in Australia, comforted only by the knowledge her cousin Jamie will make the journey with her. Her skill as a lacemaker soon draws attention, but life doesn't always run smoothly in the harsh new landscape. Brigid must learn to conquer her fears and overcome the stigma of being a servant, a female and Irish, if she is to fulfil her dream.

      A new start in New Zealand offers hope - until the day she encounters the man who seeks her downfall.
