Mary Pearce Omnibus by Mary E Pearce

JACK MERCYBRIGHT - As the nineteenth-century draws to a close Jack Mercybright is making a life for himself in an unfamiliar country community. Brown Elms Farm is badly in need of an overseer; its fields lie neglected and its owners, Philippa and Nenna Guff, are at a loss what to do until Jack Mercybright appears on the scene. His blunt speech and uncompromising manner, together with the fact that he is a stranger, make him unpopular with the men at first, but by his dedication and sheer hard work, he soon wins their respect and their friendship. THE SORROWING WIND - It is 1914 and Betony Izzard is working hard for the war effort. Life with her family and their carpentry business is as busy as ever, but all too soon her brothers William and Roger, and foster brother Tom, are fighting in the trenches in France and the future is darkly uncertain. Back home in England, the lives of the Izzards and Mercybrights become entangled and out of sorrow love is born. But the strength of family bonds is tested when events bring shame and suspicion, followed by loss in the aftermath of the Great War.
Mary E. Pearce's career began with the appearance of short stories in magazines and has led to the publication of nine highly successful novels.
