About this ebook

In 1889, a mining town called Golborne, in Lancashire, is divided between working men struggling to feed their families and the gentry living on Westleigh Hill.

Henry Postlethwaite journeyed from Golborne to London to seek his fortune, leaving his wife Mary and small child, Arabella, to fend for themselves.

Arabella loses her mother and is taken in by her widowed Aunt Elizabeth, who educates her; transforming Arabella into a lady, despite her humble beginnings.

Later in 1907, on the journey to find her father, Arabella, travels South. She innocently puts her trust in a man, not realising perfidy and hurt, will befall her.

Faced with the improbable, Arabella Postlethwaite's resilience and determination avails to overcome treachery, violence and betrayal.

No matter what happens, Arabella is intent on finding her father.

An inspiring story of a young woman's persistence, to achieve her Quest.
