What to expect
Liverpool. January 1881
Jack's due back . . . and Nell is waiting. She's dreamt of this moment for a long time.
Nine years after their plan was hatched, Master Mariner Jack Riley is ready to take control of his own ship. And Nell is preparing to travel with him.
Counting down the days until he gets home, she longs to see America . . . and nobody is going to stop her. Not her two young daughters . . . and especially not her sister, Maria.
But when tragedy strikes, her world is thrown into turmoil.
As she comes to terms with her new future, she's given the chance to pursue her dreams.
Should she follow her heart . . . or submit to the norms expected of her in Victorian-era England?
