Angels Cry Sometimes

After heartbreak, grief and despair, can happiness be found again?

Josephine Cox's Angels Cry Sometimes brims with heartbreak and joy, hardship and indomitable spirit, that will hold the reader enthralled. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Nadine Dorries.

The marriage of Marcia and Curt Ratheter seemed idyllically happy. As much in love as on their wedding day, nothing could mar their joy. But one fateful day in 1931 brought Marcia's world tumbling about her ears and left her and her two daughters bereft.

Barty Bendall has always loved her, he says; and the girls need a father. Marcia moves to Blackburn with him, where she tries to forget the past. Barty, though, sinks into bad ways, tyrannizing the family. In particular he vents his aggression on Polly, Curt and Marcia's first-born, blonde as an angel but afflicted since birth with an ominous shadow over her health.

Even in troubled times, lovely raven-haired Marcia was a fighter. But the news that Curt Ratheter has reappeared renders her the helpless prey of wildly conflicting emotions.
