Each day brings a new beginning…

Her mother’s death in childbirth leaves Sophy Hutton at the mercy of her cruel aunt and uncle, and her childhood is brutal. At sixteen, Sophy learns the shocking truth behind her birth and escapes to London to pursue a career as an actress, determined to put the past behind her. But life for women at the turn of the century is fraught with danger and Sophy soon discovers the darker side to London’s glamorous theatres. Young and innocent, she doesn’t recognise the man who really loves her when he appears; instead she is charmed into marrying handsome actor Toby Shawe, a flawed and amoral individual. Then the heartache really begins…

All published writers have skill and creativity, but a few have more. It's called magic. I'm beginning to believe Bradshaw has it!
