  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.

  Whisper of Hope Cry of Despair

  This book is the autobiography of the author. It began, however, as a biography of the author’s mother, which allowed Vicky to write about American society in the mid-to-late twentieth century; experiences of Slavic, French, and East Indian immigrants at the United States around the turn of the twentieth century; child and spouse abuse perpetrated by women as well as men and the effects of intergenerational abuse; and murder and suicide. 
  The author hopes to educate people about the American poor in the twentieth century and to broaden people’s perspective on American life. Not all Americans had the benefits of understanding mainstream American culture and society as well as knowing the language of the nation and having a supportive family. Perhaps this book could help us all understand present-day immigrants as well. 
  Vicky Bedi is a talented musician who has been a church organist for most of her life. She is also a talented artist and designs many of her own clothes. Aside from her childhood Vicky has been influenced throughout her life by spirituality, friends, and pets. Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair is her first book.
