Ambition, greed, betrayal – can love survive?
1850. Susannah Charlesworth loves the open air life of the North Lincolnshire Wolds. She stands to become a very rich woman too – inheriting the estate, as well as her father’s and uncle’s wealth, one day. But then she meets the dashing Daniel Bullen and Susannah’s life is about to change forever.
Whilst their marriage, and the children Susannah bears, ensures that their union is a happy one at first, Susannah soon begins to realise that there is more to Daniel Bullen than she thought – and that she hasn’t married the man of her dreams. When Susannah’s father dies, Daniel learns that the huge wealth that he thought he would amass has gone to Susannah’s uncle and the fragile bonds between them are broken.
To find inner peace and save the family business, Susannah realises that she and her children must leave Daniel’s cruel clutches. . . But can Susannah ever find happiness in this tapestry of dreams?
