Hope Comes to Eastby End: drama returns in the gripping new saga series from multi-million-copy bestseller Anna Jacobs

Anna Jacobs

They're about to follow their dreams all the way back home . . .

Sam Newby loves the rolling hills and lush green grass of Ollindale, the village he has grown up in. Home is where his heart is: but when his father dies, and his cruel stepmother becomes his guardian, he begins to dream of a different life. He flees, but vows to return once he is of age - and has the means to stop those who would destroy his community . . .

Laura Barker thinks about the last words Sam said to her more than she would care to admit: Follow your dreams. It is her greatest hope to become a district nurse, so she can help not only Ollindale, but the neighbouring, poverty-stricken town of Eastby End. But the only way she can serve her community is to leave, to train as a nurse down south, and follow her dreams, then her heart, back home.

A chance encounter between Sam and Laura fills them with hope that they will one day make it back to their village together. But with Sam's stepmother and her new husband causing chaos with their shady dealings in Eastby End, Sam and Laura must lean on their friends and the good people of Ollindale to bring hope back home . . .

Anna Jacobs

Anna Jacobs grew up in Lancashire and emigrated to Australia, but still visits the UK regularly to see her family and do research, something she loves. She is addicted to writing and figures she'll have to live to be 120 at least to tell all the stories that keep popping up in her imagination and nagging her to write them down. She's also addicted to her own hero, to whom she's been happily married for many years.

She is the bestselling author of over ninety novels and has been shortlisted for several awards, and Pride of Lancashire won the Australian Romantic Book of the Year Award in 2006.
