From this highly acclaimed author comes a haunting 19th century story of loss and revenge, the power of friendship and the power of forgiveness. Inspired by true events, The Runaway is a beautifully written, compelling story of transforming darkness into light. Megan is a healer, yet when she cannot save her young brother she punishes herself until ultimately she herself is healed and friendships are renewed.
With richly drawn characters and a well plotted story, this title is equally compelling as her first novel The Tide Turner.
Meet Megan, frightened, guilty, and running away from everything she’s ever known, Marguerite, blind and despised, her only companions two silent, watchful owls. Her eyes. A deserted almost derelict house; the perfect place for so many secrets. And Tom, biding his time, waiting for the right moment to bring this fragile world crashing down...
