Whitby in 1845 is a thriving port, bustling with traders and merchants, seafarers and crasftmen from the special local industry of jet carving. Yet it is divided into two by the river Esk; on one side live the working men and their families, on the other stand the grand houses of the business owners. And in one of these lives young Gennetta Turner. Although her father, head of Turner Jet Makers, had brought her up without affection, she has won the abiding love of handsome young sailor Reuben Briggs, her childhood sweetheart. How can anything ruin their happiness?<\/p>\n
Jeremiah Turner has other ideas. Competition between the jet companies is intense, and he will stop at nothing to control the trade. Ruthlessly marrying off his daughter to the son of his arch-rival seems like a fair ploy. When Gennetta proudly defies him, the family grows as divided as the town itself.<\/p>\n
Tragedy befalls the young lovers and Gennetta must use all her skills to earn a place in the firm that once should have been hers by birth. Talented, artistic, and passionate, she is determined to succeed despite the prejudice that meets her at every turn. No matter what, she will regain her place on the other side of the river – and on her own terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[21],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-502","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fiction-b","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"\n
