Child's Acre is a story of people from all walks of life and their deep love for each other from the destitute to the grandeur of the landed gentry. With the rich, the poor, the nobility, the peasants, the nuns, the orphans, the very old and the very young, my story will take you on a journey through harsh poverty and trial, great wealth and comfort, deep love and intense enmity. The story will carry you along with your affinity to its characters through periods of sadness and grief on to faith, hope and achievement. You will share its triumphs, look through a window and be heartened by the true kindness of one human being to another and be greatly saddened by malice beyond words. As you progress through the book you will travel along its twists and turns until the reason for each facet becomes clear to you. Whilst the story takes you to different regions of Britain it is life at the stately Manor House, with its family and servants, Estate workers and villagers, that is the one constant linking the lives of the people you will come to know and love in 'Child's Acre.'
