Determined to put the past behind her after the birth of her daughter Grace, Bea embraces her newfound roles of motherhood and being a wife. Nevertheless, when she meets Sarah Bateman, their friendship draws Bea towards the underground railroad and the hidden abolitionist movement, despite the dangerous secrets it poses. Whilst concealed in the shadows, Captain Victor Hanley returns, obsessed with revenge and the desire to lay claim to what is his, exposes deceptions and doubts as he threatens their newly established happiness.

Now, Beatrice must find the strength to fight once more and save Grace, even if it costs her life.

My Review

Saving Grace: Deception. Obsession. Redemption.

📚📚📚📚📚

This novel broke my heart. It really did. Having read Ropewalk; Rebellion. Love. Survival I was really looking forward to reading the second book in The Ropewalk series. I had high expectations for this novel and not once did it disappoint. 

Bea's plight, her fight not only for her own life but to salvage her marriage was told with a brilliance that left me reaching for the tissues. Her determination to love Grace, to not be reminded of how she was conceived was absolutely heartbreaking - and to have to relive the terror again when Grace was born left me wondering if Bea would survive, not only the surgery but on an emotional level as well. But somehow she finds the will to carry on.

Bea has to adapt to a different way of life, she makes new friends. Her relationship with Sarah was beautifully portrayed. And she discovers a cause that becomes very close to her heart. But there is a dark undercurrent to this novel that suggests that life has not done with Bea yet. 

Once again, H D Coulter has written an unputdownable novel. Bring on Book 3!!

Hayley was born and raised in the lake district and across Cumbria. From a young age, Hayley loved learning about history, visiting castles and discovering local stories from the past. Hayley and her partner lived in Ulverston for three years and spent her weekends walking along the Ropewalk and down by the old harbour. She became inspired by the spirit of the area and stories that had taken place along the historic streets.

As a teacher, Hayley had loved the art of storytelling by studying drama and theatre. The power of the written word, how it can transport the reader to another world or even another time in history. But it wasn't until living in Ulverston did she discover a story worth telling. From that point, the characters became alive and she fell in love with the story.
