Beauty's Daughter: The story of Lady Hamilton's lost child...
Mollie Hardwick
A young woman is on a quest to find her true identity…
Emily Hart can remember little of what came before the strict schoolhouse where she spends her childhood in Manchester with the Blackburn family. Well educated but receiving little in comfort and human kindness she has no idea why she is there or who she is. The Blackburn house is her whole world until she is forced out to work, and falls desperately in love.
But everything suddenly changes when she is summoned to London, to the sumptuous home of the beautiful Emma, Lady Hamilton.
Claimed as a ‘relative’, and with remarkable similarities to the great lady herself, Emily finally has a family to call her own.
She soon becomes accustomed to the whirl of life in fashionable society, residing with Lady Hamilton and her famous lover, national hero, Lord Horatio Nelson.
But with the death of old Sir William Hamilton the family’s happy existence is shattered. For the independently minded Emily, hard work is the obvious answer, but that would mean living far away from her new-found family and friends...
Will Emily ever find out the truth about her past? And will she find a way back to her true love…?
BEAUTY’S DAUGHTER is the story of a young woman’s quest to discover her own identity, a saga of changing fortunes, social intrigue and high passions set against the elegant background of Georgian England.
