When Katie O Donovan leaves her home in
County Donegal after the sudden death of
her father, it is not by choice--called head-
strong and independent by her family,
Katie does not welcome her new life in the
cotton mills of Lancashire.
Finding the bleak, rain-filled skies
oppressive and the long hours in the mill
not challenging enough for her lively spirit,
Katie applies for a.job as a servant girl at the
weahhy Carslake estate. There, her willing-
hess to work hard and her ability to speak
up for herselt assure her success--until she
realizes she has fallen in love with Jeffrey
Carslake, the young master. Unable to rec-
oncile her feelings for Jeffrey with her desire
to be loved as an equal, Katie marries Liam
Clancy, an Irishman from a background
similar to her ownAlmost immediately,
England is plunged intothe First World
War, and Katie must remain at home, alone
and with child, struggling to preserve her
husband s business so that his fighting
efforts will not be in vain.
But through her lonely marriage Katie
has never forgotten tile tlandsome stranger
who tantalized her once from thedark hills
near Carslake, and now her full woman-
hood is only just beginning. The strength
and independence she finds in the world of
commerce allow her to spread her wings, at
last accepting her ambitions -and her passion-with pride.
