Family Affairs a Saga of Love, Power and Betrayal (hardcover) Catherine Gaskin

Her story is one of rags to riches. But money and prestige cannot protect Kelly and her loved ones from tragedy.

A gripping family saga blockbuster set in the Australian outback and London's high society from the 1930s to the 1970s. Perfect for fans of Penny Vincenzi and Barbara Taylor Bradford.

From early beginnings as the illegitimate daughter of a housekeeper, Kelly Anderson is transformed into a sophisticated society hostess. Her journey from poverty and shame to wealth and prestige is an eventful one, with many twists and turns. It is a life full of love, passion, ambition and family loyalty.

Kelly makes many sacrifices for the men in her life, but her most important role is as mother to three very different young women. Though not her daughters by birth, her ties to Laura, Julia and Kate are thicker than blood. Can Kelly save them from heartbreak and scandal? Shall each find her own place in what is still a man's world?

And is there to be lasting happiness and love for Kelly? Or will dark forces and shocking events destroy all that she loves and has fought for?
