Suddenly left as the head of the family, Kitty McKenzie must find her inner strength to keep her family together against the odds.
Evicted from their resplendent home in the fashionable part of York after her parents’ deaths, Kitty must fight the legacy of bankruptcy and homelessness to secure a home for her and her siblings.
Through sheer willpower and determination she grabs opportunities with both hands from working on a clothes and rag stall in the market to creating a teashop for the wealthy. Her road to happiness is fraught with obstacles of hardship and despair, but she refuses to let her dream of a better life for her family die. She soon learns that love and loyalty brings its own reward.






“This was a short but a well written read that captured me from the very beginning...
Whitfield writes with intelligence, warmth and compassion and while leaving you satisfied with one chapter of Kitty’s life completed, makes you hunger for the sequel to see where the next chapter of her journey takes you. This is a lovely story I highly recommend.”
“MS. Whitefield has written a beautifully crafted tale of a determined woman’s self-discovery through duty and love. The reader is drawn into the story and goes on an emotional journey from heartbreak to jubilation; of doubt to confidence and falls in love with the characters through the experience.
This is the first book of a series and I look forward to the next chapter of Kitty’s life in Australia.”
“A fresh voice, Australia’s Anne Whitfield brings life to this tale of a woman’s perseverance, of her discovering she is stronger than she ever knew…
The writing is sharp, and pulls the reader into the story, makes them care. Obviously, there will be another book dealing with Kitty’s journey to Australia. I eagerly look forward to it and more from this talented writer.”
Anne Whitfield has made a very believable and likable character of Miss Kitty McKenzie. She gives vivid and direct descriptions of life in the slums of York and basic human interactions that everyone can identify with. I laughed out loud and wiped tears from my eyes. I love a book that I can’t put down and I definitely could not close it until I was finished. She does an excellent job of using very real characters to push the story forward. The pace was perfect, it was fun to read, and I loved all of the characters, even the dragon-lady-mother-in-law-to-be!
