The voyage is long and perilous and Tam's life is threatened by two depraved seamen; though First Mate James Allen offers her his protection, she cannot return his love. For Tamar's heart already belongs to another seafaring man -Captain Nathan Burford, who, like Tamar, haunts the seas looking for lost loved ones.Under the blazing Australian sun, Tam must endure hardship and cruelty, but she also encounters generosity and friendship from unexpected quarters on her quest. Will one poor girl right a terrible wrong and rescue her brother from the judas touch And can she hope to find love on the way

About the Author:
Meg Hutchinson lived for sixty years in Wednesbury, where her parents and grandparents spent all their lives. Her passion for storytelling reaped dividends, with her novels regularly appearing in bestseller lists. She was the undisputed queen of the clogs and shawls saga.

Review:
a heroine and a heart-wrenching saga of emotional strength to match any Cookson * Peterborough Evening Telegraph on A LOVE FORBIDDEN * Meg fits into a tradition before television when families sat around a fire and told stories. Not epic stories but the tales of their families and friends, an oral history of a place and its people. Her place and people are Wednesbury in the West Midlands. * Peter Pannett, Guernsey Evening Post * Another good book by this popular author * Hartlepool Mail, on A PROMISE GIVEN * Many bitter tears are shed * Books Magazine on BITTER SEED * A cruel yet moving saga. * Coventry Evening Telegraph * Her inimitable style and deftness of touch are much in evidence. * Teeside Evening Gazette * Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall . . . satisfying. * Bolton Evening News * A cruel yet moving saga. * Coventry Evening Telegraph * Her inimitable style and deftness of touch are much in evidence. * Teeside Evening Gazette * Meg Hutchinson's tales enthrall. * Bolton Evening News *
