Tilly Trotter Widowed - Catherine Cookson

First a rich man’s mistress, then a frontier wife, and now a widow. With her two children, half-blind Willy and her adopted daughter. Josefina, Tilly returns to Highfield Manor, where she’d worked as a nursemaid all those years ago.

Still only thirty-five, with the estate and mine now hers, she is a rich woman. And although she is white-haired, she is still as spirited and as magnetic as ever. Her reputation as a witch continues to grow among the villagers, ever hostile and suspicious, although she is still supported by faithful friends and warm memories.

Life still has much in store for Tilly: old loves and enmities provide fresh challenges, and the final shaping of her destiny provides the theme for an absorbing and vividly dramatic story. Complete in itself
