Mistress of Carrick

By: Haynes, Dionne

A woman who must atone for her past. A village that needs her courage.
CORNWALL, 1537.

Mawde Sherman returns to the village of St Mawes to find it is not the thriving community she left behind as a child. The fishing fleet has dwindled and poverty is rife.

When the local priory closes, the villagers despair. They lose a source of charity and many lose paid work. Mawde wants to help the villagers, and her husband has a plan. But Mawde discovers a dark side to Nicholas and a selfish desire for wealth.

Plagued by nightmares about her past, Mawde must make amends. She believes God will forgive her if she helps St Mawes to thrive again. When a foe from Mawde's childhood moves into the village, her emotions are conflicted. He is a cruel reminder of her past. He is also a man who can help her.

Small acts of charity are not enough to secure the village's future. The long-term solutions involve great risks, but is Mawde prepared to take them?

A gripping tale about hardship, determination and love.
