The Tuppenny Child: An emotional saga of love and loss

'Real sagas with female characters right at the heart' Woman's Hour

If you love Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin, you'll LOVE Glenda Young's 'amazing novels!' (ITV's This Morning presenter Sharon Marshall)

'In the world of historical saga writers, there's a brand new voice' My Weekly

What readers are saying about Glenda's dramatically powerful saga of secrets, friendship, motherhood, love and betrayal:

'What a gripping writer, pure passion for her world on every page' 5* reader review

'You are totally transplanted into the life or our heroine. Wonderful characters and evocative descriptions' 5* reader review

'Unique, captivating . . . will definitely pull at everyone's heartstrings' 5* reader review
......................................

'She's not worth more than tuppence, that child!'

Those are the words that haunt Sadie Linthorpe. She is the talk of Ryhope when she arrives there, aged seventeen, alone, seeking work and a home in the pit village. But Sadie is keeping a secret - she is searching for her baby girl who was taken from her at birth a year ago and cruelly sold by the child's grandmother.

All that Sadie knows about the family who took her daughter is that they live in Ryhope. And the only thing she knows about her daughter is that when the baby was born, she had a birthmark on one shoulder that resembled a tiny ladybird. But as Sadie's quest begins, a visitor from her past appears - one who could jeopardise the life she's beginning to build and ruin her chances of finding her beloved child for ever...
