Synopsis

Ellen Tyson is living the perfect village life in Goswell. But when her stepdaughter moves in, her fragile idyll is fractured. At seventeen, Annabelle is surly, withdrawn, and adamant that she isn't, and never will be, part of her father's second family. As Ellen battles with Annabelle, new tensions arise with her husband Alex, shattering the happiness she'd once so carelessly enjoyed. Then Ellen finds a death certificate from the 1870s hidden under the floorboards, and its few stark lines awaken a curiosity in her. Ellen tries to involve Annabelle in her search for answers. But as they dig deeper into the circumstances of Sarah Mills' untimely death, truths both poignant and shocking come to light - about the present as well as the past. Interlacing the lives of Ellen Tyson and Sarah Mills, The Second Bride is a captivating and moving story about what it means to be a family, and the lengths we will go to for the people we love.

Media Reviews
With stunning prose and deep emotion, Katharine Swartz weaves a powerful story of love and redemption, perfect for the world right now. -- Maisey Yates, New York Times bestselling author of Hold Me, Cowboy
A Victorian death certificate found under the floorboards - who wouldn't be longing to find out who it was and how it came to be there? But Ellen has problems of her own when her stroppy stepdaughter comes to stay. Intriguing parallels between Sarah's life in the 1870s and Ellen's in the present day kept me turning the pages until the early hours! -- Kathleen McGurl, author of The Daughters of Red Hill Hall
Author Bio
Katherine Swartz spent her childhood in Canada and then three years as a die hard New Yorker, before living in the Lake District with her husband, an Anglican minister, their five children, and a Golden Retriever. She enjoys such novel things as long country walks and chatting with people in the street, and her children love the freedom of village life - although she often has to ring four or five people to figure out where they've gone off to! She writes women's fiction as well as contemporary romance for Mills & Boon Modern under the name Kate Hewitt, and whatever the genre she enjoys delivering a compelling and intensely emotional story.
