Summary

In "Jessica, the Heiress," Evelyn Raymond crafts a captivating narrative that explores the complexities of wealth, social status, and personal identity in early 20th-century America. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society, the novel employs a rich, descriptive style that immerses the reader in the opulent yet often suffocating world of its protagonist, Jessica. Raymond deftly balances romance and social commentary, revealing how Jessica's inheritance shapes her choices and relationships, while also hinting at the social upheavals that challenge traditional views of success and femininity. Evelyn Raymond, an astute observer of human nature and societal norms, infuses her writing with her own experiences as a woman navigating the complexities of her time. Her works frequently reflect her acute awareness of gender roles and class dynamics, which likely stemmed from her upbringing in a well-off family. Raymond's insights into the struggles of women seeking autonomy during this transformative era add depth to Jessica's journey, illustrating the broader implications of her circumstances. "Jessica, the Heiress" is a compelling read for those interested in rich character development and social critique. Raymond's nuanced exploration of inheritance and identity invites readers to reflect on their own assumptions about wealth and fulfillment, making this novel a timeless commentary on the enduring human condition.

    A Scottish saga of loss, hope and survival from Sunday Times betselling author Evelyn Hood 
    Can a working-class girl adapt to her changed fortunes and find fulfilment? 
    Paisley, Scotland 1810 
    When Rowena and Neil Lindsay’s mother tragically dies in a boating accident, her father – devastated by his wife’s death – is unable to care them. When their father’s wealthy employer, Fergus Bain, and his wife, Sarah – a childless couple – take them in, Neil is happy to enjoy his newfound good fortune whilst strong-willed Rowena longs for their old life, misses their father and resists Sarah’s attempts to spoil her. 
    Kerr Fraser, an employee at Fergus Bains thread mill, is the young man who saved Rowena and Neil from drowning. The son of a disgraced town councillor, Kerr and his family have fallen on hard times since his father’s suicide; however, Kerr is determined to prove his worth. 
    Wanting the best for Rowena, Fergus and Sarah dream of a society wedding for Rowena to a wealthy man. But Rowena wants to marry for love rather than advance her social position and work like the other women she knows in Paisley. Rowena has long admired Kerr and realises that she has grown to love him, but will past secrets and current rivalries stand in the way of their happiness? 
    Storytelling at its best, Evelyn Hood is the original bestselling Scottish saga writer.
