The Dock Girl's Shame

 

Loretta loved working with her father at the docks.  But everything changed when her father made a deal with Oswald Lynch.  Trouble soon followed.

Loretta made a mistake which led to shame and guilt.  Can she ever show her face again?

Great characters.  I loved Jonas Bannerman.  He was a genuine, caring man.  Does Loretta even see what is in front of her?

I had a horrible time reading about how some people in her community treated Loretta after her secret was leaked.  Even one of her closest friends was very judgemental.  How times have changed.

This is the second book of The Waterfront Women series.  I've read both.  This could be a stand alone book.  

I enjoyed the story and look forward to the next book. Thank you Boldwood for giving me the opportunity to read this.

The Dock Girl's Shame

A broken heart, a shameful secret…

Wakefield, Yorkshire 1871

Loretta Chambers has spent her life working at her father’s boatyard down at the docks. She’s tried hard to keep the business afloat, but with the railways taking trade away every day, Lorrie fears for the worst.

The arrival of handsome Italian, Matteo Falcone brings a brief glimmer of hope and a yearning inside Lorrie for another life, away from the filthy grime of the dockside. But despite her feelings for Matteo, she could never travel to Italy with him, and leave her father alone.

But one reckless, impetuous moment leaves Lorrie with a secret she will struggle to hide. And when tragedy strikes at the boatyard, Lorrie is left feeling more alone than ever before.

Always a dutiful daughter, Lorrie now carries a shame that could ruin her life forever…
