Peppercorn Woman [Paperback]

Meg Hutchinson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2002

Tyler Cadell's cruel order spells heartbreak for his wife Garnet and their new-born baby. She flees to save herself, but cannot save her child and the memory of that tragic loss haunts her days. Taken in by a band of Black Country Romanies, Garnet is touched by the warmth and generosity of the gypsy people, even if not all of them offer her an equally charitable welcome. Although loved by their leader, Garnet moves on once she has regained her strength and determines to take revenge on her husband.
