Deny Me Not - Softcover

“You knew my mother better than that...”“I don’t know what you’re intimating, girl, but I’d watch what I was saying if I were you.” Born in a mother and baby home, Hannah Casey has never known her father but when her mother finally discloses his name she is determined to confront him. Her search takes her into the rural community of Rathbrandon where her arrival impacts dramatically on arrogant landowner Abe Stephenson; on his unsuspecting wife, Florrie and on the relatives who think that only they should inherit his property. Will Hannah survive the battle and will the truth really set anyone free? Set in 2004 Deny Me Not is a story about chickens coming home to roost, the nature of love and greed and of how secrets revealed have the power to knock a world sideways.
