Josephine Cox Bücher

Eine Schuhschachtel voller Erinnerungen - mehr hat Kelly von ihrer Vergangenheit nicht aufbewahrt. Und wenn Barney sie nicht trotz seiner Liebe eines Morgens verlassen und eine erschreckende Leere in Kellys Leben zurückgelassen hätte, würde sie ewig vor dem traurigen Geheimnis ihrer Kindheit davonlaufen. So aber beschließt sie, sich den dunklen Schatten zu stellen und zurückzukehren nach Blackburn, an den Ort, an dem vor fast dreißig Jahren alles begann: damals, als ihr Vater wie so oft betrunken auf ihre Mutter losging - und ihr Bruder in Notwehr ein Familiendrama auslöste.

Ada Williams' Entschluß steht fest: Sie, die einst die Männer nur so um den Finger gewickelt hat und heute auf die Pflege ihres hartherzigen Sohnes Peter angewiesen ist, wird aufräumen mit ihrer Vergangenheit und mit der Schuld, die seit Jahren auf ihr lastet. Das entscheidende Telefonat mit ihrem Anwalt soll endlich dafür sorgen, dass Ada ihren Frieden wiederfindet. Doch sie hat nicht damit gerechnet, wie groß Peters Habgier ist: Als er seine Mutter belauscht und um sein Erbe fürchten muß, reift in ihm ein schrecklicher Entschluß.§Um wieviel wärmer und fröhlicher verläuft das Leben der Boltons, die mit ihren drei aufgeweckten Kindern das Beste aus jedem neuen Tag machen. Die romantischen Zwillinge Ellie und Betsy würden sich nie träumen lassen, dass ausgerechnet bei ihnen das Schicksal zuschlägt. Bis zu dem Moment, als Peter Williams Rache übt und die Bolton-Mädchen buchstäblich über Nacht erwachsen werden müssen. . .
