“Galloways this be. Close enough, but not Dungeness proper.”
“Galloways! Galloways Cottage?” Lily felt the tension release from her body. “That's exactly where I wanted to be.”
“You did?” The old hag shuffled towards Lily and peered up at her.
“Mary sent me. Mary from the teashop in Lydd.”
"Oh, she did, did she?” A wide toothless grin spread across and creased the leathery face. “She's a good girl is our Mary. A good girl.”
It is the 1920s and Lily sets off to discover the remote coastal village her mother once called home. But a wrong turning leads her to a lonely settlement, far from civilisation. A place where old customs are held sacred and, as the mists clear over the Dungeness Point, her arrival brings hope to the community. A sequel to Secrets of the Shingle, including chapters based in Ashford and Lydd as well as Dungeness. The story of a young woman's struggle to fulfil her worth, as the shadows of WW1 live on.
