The Storm Child
(eAudiobook)
Description
From the top-ten bestselling author of "One Snowy Night", Rita Bradshaw, comes "The Storm Child", a sweeping family saga set during the run up to WW2 in the north-east of England. It's mid-winter, and in the throes of a fierce blizzard Elsie Redfern and her husband discover an unknown girl in their hay barn about to give birth. After the young mother dies, Elsie takes the infant in and raises her as her own daughter, her precious storm child. Gina grows into a beautiful little girl, but her safe haven turns out to be anything but. Torn away from her home and family, the child finds herself in a nightmare from which there's no waking, but despite her misery and bewilderment, Gina's determined to survive. Years pass. With womanhood comes the Second World War, along with more heartbreak, grief and betrayal. Then, a new but dangerous love beckons; can Gina ever escape the dark legacy of the storm child? Rita Bradshaw was born in Northamptonshire, where she lives today. At the age of sixteen she met her husband-whom she considers her soulmate-and they have two daughters and a son, and several grandchildren. To her delight, Rita's first novel was accepted for publication, and she has gone on to write many more successful novels since, including the number one bestseller "Dancing in the Moonlight". As a committed Christian and passionate animal-lover her life is busy, and she loves walking her dogs, reading, eating out and visiting the cinema and theatre, as well as being involved in her church and animal welfare.
