One good deed takes her into another world . . .
Sixteen-year-old Matilda is a poor Covent Garden flower girl until the day she saves the life of Tabitha, a minister's daughter. Welcomed into Tabitha's family, Matilda is offered the chance of a lifetime.
She leaves behind London's slums and enters the darkest corners of New York. Traveling across the vast plains to the Wild West, she finds herself in San Francisco, a city in the grip of the gold rush.
Streetwise and strong-willed, Matilda forges a new life for herself and Tabitha among pioneers like Captain James Russell - a man to whom she is deeply attracted.
Yet a civil war will soon rip apart this new nation . . .
Can Matilda and those she loves brave separation and carry on, never looking back?

One of the best books I have ever read. Thank you x
Never Look Back
Wow! Never have I ever read a book that still haunts me months after I've finished it!
I get through 2-3 books a week and this one I just cannot get out of my head.
Lesley Pearce has outdone herself in this one.
I recommend it to everyone I know who's an avid reader like myself.
Amazing!!
Never look back
