Mistress of Carrick
About this ebook
CORNWALL, 1537.
Mawde Sherman returns to the village of St Mawes to find it is not the thriving community she left behind as a child. The fishing fleet has dwindled and poverty is rife.
When the local priory closes, the villagers despair. They lose a source of charity and many lose paid work. Mawde wants to help the villagers, and her husband has a plan. But Mawde discovers a dark side to Nicholas and a selfish desire for wealth.
Plagued by nightmares about her past, Mawde must make amends. She believes God will forgive her if she helps St Mawes to thrive again. When a foe from Mawde’s childhood moves into the village, her emotions are conflicted. He is a cruel reminder of her past. He is also a man who can help her.
Small acts of charity are not enough to secure the village’s future. The long-term solutions involve great risks, but is Mawde prepared to take them?
A gripping tale about hardship, determination and love.
Enjoy this book as a standalone tale or as a sequel to Mawde of Roseland.
