SBPRA's New Historical Novels Offer a Realistic Look at the 1880s to 1940s
(PRWEB) February 19, 2015 -- “We are thrilled to announce the release of three novels by author Denise Buckley that present an intriguing look at the historical eras of the Victorian Age, the early 1900s, and the 1940s, respectively," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency. The books include "The White Dress," "Yesterday’s Tomorrows: The Dark Secret," and "Heroes Don’t Cry.”
In "The White Dress", a kidnapped baby, misplaced love, desperate choices and fate all seal the future of a girl named Nellie.
In 1886, a young peasant girl and prostitute named Clara steals a baby from a rich family in the hope that the man she lives with will believe the baby his and marry her. He doesn’t believe her and leaves. Stuck with the stolen child she names Nellie, Clara has two more children with other men and becomes a drunk. One day while Nellie is out looking for food, the police arrest Clara and her “siblings” are taken to the workhouse.
After running away and settling in Ulverston, Nellie meets a rich boy named Charles Nicholson, who left home to become a sailor. Nellie finds employment with a farmer who tries to assault her. The farmer finds her, beats her badly, and leaves her for dead. Charles and his father find Nellie and get her help.
She soon discovers that she is the lost baby kidnapped from the Nicholson family so many years before. Could it be that Charles, the man she has come to love, is really her brother?
