The miner's wife / Diane Allen. - 350 pages ; 24 cm

"Seventeen-year-old Meg Oversby often dreams of a more exciting life than the dull existence she faces at her family's farm deep in the Yorkshire Dales.

But as love blossoms, a darker truth emerges and Meg realises that Sam may not be the man she thought he was "--Publisher description.
