They don't make Mothers-In-Law like that anymore!

"Though the mills of God grind slowly,Yet they grind exceedingly small;Though with patience he stands waiting.With exactness grinds he all."Henry Wadsworth LongfellowSarah Hetherington's mother in-law is an angry & bitter woman bent on putting Sarah in her place & making her pay for taking her sons & husband from within her iron grip. Spinning lies about Sarah for years & years, Sarah has paid dearly for every drop of happiness she got. For her mother in-law's God is a blind miller, who would not take her, nor others like her, but let them live to reign pain & agony on everyone around them. I could not put the book down. Catherine Cookson is a master storyteller, her stories are unpredictable & her characters are deep.Also recommended: The Round Tower.
