Journey to Melford

Set in England in the autumn of 1938, Journey to Melford describes the aftermath of a major train accident in which Sally Claythorne (widowed with one young adult son), Simon Sinclair (divorced), and Dorothy Weston (single, elderly and worldly wise) are thrown together. Sally, a widow, is returning from an exhausting visit to her Aunt. Simon has been staying with his sister and Dorothy, an elderly lady, has been to see a solicitor to wind up her deceased brother’s estate and collect a diary written by her mother in 1857. Not far into the journey the train derails and crashes with disastrous consequences. As a result, the lives of these three strangers began to intertwine. Unfamiliar emotions and surprising revelations follow in the wake of the disaster. Sally and Simon rediscover emotions they thought were lost for ever and Dorothy discovers secrets of her past. Who could have foreseen the twists of fate that brought these three people together.
