What to expect
One Man. One Woman. One Choice?
Life hasn't been easy for Nell. Orphaned as a child, her elder sister Maria is a substitute for the mother she barely remembers. All she wants now is a husband and family of her own.
Second mate Jack Riley loves his life at sea and dreams of one day captaining his own ship. Settling down to life in the back streets of Liverpool holds no appeal.
Until he bumps into his old flame, Nell.
She wants security and a husband who'll come home each night. But the call of the sea is strong. Can Jack abandon his plans and give her the life she craves?
Based on a true story, The Sailor's Promise is an introductory novella to the Windsor Street Family Saga. A story of love, loss, and hope set in Victorian-era Liverpool and beyond.
