The Pit Girl’s Scandal
Daisy Carter
FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED.
Betty Jones accepts that her place in life is to work alongside her family in the coal mining community of Pencastle, where the Nantglas Colliery looms darkly over the village. Toiling underground is all she’s ever known, so it’s futile to wish for something different.
What makes it bearable is the love of her family and snatched moments of freedom with her best friend, Dylan.
But poverty and death are ever-present in the harsh conditions they work in.
As her mother’s health worsens, it falls to Betty to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Breaking the law becomes her only option.
Then one terrible day, as storm clouds gather over the valley, circumstances change forever down the pit.
Just when Betty needs the support of her neighbours and friends, she is accused of a deed so heinous that everyone turns against her.
She is forced to flee and finds herself propelled into the strange new world of the theatre under the protection of an uncle she never knew she had.
But certain people at the theatre are determined to see her fail, and a brush with the law leaves her vulnerable to their devious plans.
Betty fears she will be condemned to live under the shadow of her past forever.
With her secrets about to be exposed, will she ever get a chance to prove her innocence?
When her future hangs in the balance, and with the love and happiness she yearns for at stake, will Betty have the courage to save herself and her family?
The Daughter’s Courage is another gripping Victorian romance saga by Daisy Carter, the popular author of The Milkmaid’s Secret, The Maid’s Winter Wish, and many more.
A heart-warming romance, full of drama, adventure, hope, and love. Fans of Dilly Court, Tania Crosse, and Catherine Cookson will adore this touching story of one girl’s wish to clear her name and find love, even when the world is against her.
