Description
In 1850s Lancashire, superstition and tragedy entwine in a gripping tale. Born with a club foot, Ruth is shunned by her community, who fear she's cursed due to her affliction. When her family's life is shattered by an accident and eviction, Ruth hopes to start anew in the Blackburn cotton mills. Tragedy strikes again, setting off a chain of events that will forever alter her family's fate. The Earl of Harrogate and his betrothed, Lady Katrina, hold the key to their destiny. Yet, Marcia, Lady Katrina's jealous sister, harbours sinister intentions. Ruth's dreams of escape and hope are intertwined with those of the Earl, setting in motion a heart-wrenching saga. Originally published as Judge Me Not in 2013, this edition features new content, offering an emotional historical tale that explores the complexities of love, fate, and survival in 19th-century Lancashire.
