Thursday’s Child

By Jeanette Whitmee

You can’t choose your family…

Julia Grant and Dean Sylvester have a history that had to be kept secret.

Young and carefree, following a whirlwind romance, they find they must go their own ways. Neither of them were ready for parenthood. But their beautiful girl turned out to be their Thursday child … strong and independent, ready to stand alone …

Fleur Sylvester, abandoned by both parents as a baby, adores her paternal grandmother, Dolly. But when she passes, Fleur faces the world alone … a prospect made worse with the enemies she welcomed when supporting a friend …

London wasn’t for her any more. She had to get away …

But, where to? She did have an address for her mother in Elvemere. Any place is as good as any …

Things seem to be moving upwards for Fleur … until she is betrayed in the most terrible of ways…

Julia Grant’s marriage is in tatters. With a teenage daughter, Charlotte, and husband, Vernon, Julia’s life, at the outset, is complete.

But what lies upon the surface is not a true reflection of the underlying chaos that runs parallel to their external existence … which is duly shattered on the back of a revelation.

A revelation kept secret for two decades.

In Thursday’s Child two worlds collide with potentially devastating consequences.
