Pengelly's Daughter

Cornwall: 1793. Rose Pengelly's father has been ruined - he has lost his boat yard and his fortune plunging Rose and her mother into poverty and debt. There appears to be only one way out of their terrible circumstances; for Rose to marry Mr Tregellas a powerful timber merchant and the man Rose believes is responsible for her father's downfall. He has made his terms clear; either she marries him or faces homelessness and destitution. Desperate Rose sets out to find evidence of Mr Tregellas's wrongdoing. In her search she encounters a mysterious young sailor called Jim who refuses to disclose his identity. He may help her restore her fortune and her good name but does he ever tell her the truth?
