Description
Bill O'Jack's, Saddleworth, 1832. A gruesome discovery sets off a chain of events that will forever change Millie Bradbury's life. Her grandfather's body, brutally beaten and battered, lies before her. The scene is one of unimaginable violence, with the innkeeper and his son found dead in their remote village. As news of the tragedy spreads, Millie becomes an unlikely celebrity, attracting unwanted attention from across the country. Yet, it is a local man, Johnny Barkwell, who offers her a chance at a new life - one that promises marriage, stability, and security. But as she sets sail for The Canadas on a coffin ship, Millie must confront the desperation and resilience that will define her journey. A story of grief, family, and longing for home, Out of Human Sight is a powerful exploration of a woman's quest for a better life, no matter the cost.
