About this eBook

Will she make it on her own?

Her strength is all she has left...

When Dorothy meets Robbie, he sweeps her off her feet. The pair’s whirlwind romance soon leads to an engagement, but then an unexpected pregnancy changes everything. Robbie disappears without a word, leaving Dorothy to face the shame and heartbreak alone.

Determined to carry on, Dorothy throws herself into work, helping to support her struggling parents in Battersea. But with her father’s health failing and money getting tighter, life grows harder with each passing day.

With Robbie still nowhere to be found, Dorothy must fight for a brighter future. Can she find the courage to make her own way – or is someone else waiting in the wings to save her?

Gritty and moving, this is the perfect read for fans of Dilly Court and Katie Flynn.

I thought A Daughter’s Courage was well-written and an engaging story. Dorothy falls in love with ne’er do well, Robbie. The old saying that love is blind applies to Dorothy because she refuses to see Robbie’s faults and falls for his excuses every time. A Daughter’s Courage is a gritty and realistic family saga. A Daughter’s Courage is a story with drama, romance, hurt, friendship, anger, intrigue, grief and family. I thought the author captured the time period and locale. There is British slang included which can be discerned from the text. They have some interesting expressions. A Daughter’s Courage has a satisfying ending. I am giving A Daughter’s Courage 4 out of 5 stars (I liked it). I look forward to reading more books by Kitty Neale.

About the author

Kitty Neale was raised in South London and this working class area became the inspiration for her novels. In the 1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998 there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27.

After working for two years with other bereaved parents in a support group, Kitty took up writing as a form of catharsis, and now lives in Spain with her husband.
