A Contrary Wind by Mollie Lyons

Set in 1870s Yorkshire it is the story of a young widow and her young stepson

When she is widowed, Caroline Flynn is forced to move to Stoops End,

the worst slum in the Yorkshire, West Riding town of

Fesley. She gets work as a general help in Adam Cochrane's

pub where she, and her stepson Danny, encounter the intense hatred

of Lillian Roth, Adam's intended. Her plots and schemes are aimed at

bringing ruin and disgrace to the Flynns, and they both must struggle to

keep their good reputation. Lillian Roth blames Danny for stealing old Mrs Cochrane's jewelry

and causes such fear in him that he runs away and ends up in a remote farmhouse as a

prisoner of the murderous Noah Grisedale. Danny is present when Noah kills his wife in a fit of

rage, and he decides he must somehow escape. But can he find his way back to Fesley? Will

Caroline be able to prove her and Danny's innocence?

Throughout all these trials Caroline's landlord Ethan Barnes is a loyal friend and it is in Stoops

End where she discovers that she has learned to love the one man who stood by her.

She is originally from the county of Northumberalnd in the North East of England where she spent the early part of her life living on a remote sheep farm. Writing is one of her favourite hobbies and the wonderful views from her apartment serve to give her inspiration for her stories of Georgian and Victorian Yorkshire. She likes to depict not only romance in her stories but also the hard times that people of those times had to tolerate and how many overcame the difficulties by determination and hard work.She has one son who is a scientist and two grandchildren and they, along with her daughter in law, are the lights of her life.
