Synopsis
Never Look Back by Lesley Pearse – author of bestsellers Gypsy and Remember Me - is a historical novel of love and survival at the time of the American Civil War.
One good deed takes her into another world . . .
Sixteen-year-old Matilda is a poor Covent Garden flower girl until the day she saves the life of Tabitha, a minister's daughter. Welcomed into Tabitha's family, Matilda is offered the chance of a lifetime.
She leaves behind London's slums and enters the darkest corners of New York. And she travels across the plains to the Wild West, where San Francisco is in the grip of the gold rush.
Streetwise and strong-willed, Matilda forges a new life for herself and Tabitha among pioneers like Captain James Russell - a man to whom she is deeply attracted. Yet a civil war will soon rip apart this new nation.
Can Matilda and those she loves brave separation and carry on, never looking back?

'Another story about a strong resilient woman. I felt like I knew her because my Grandmother''s name was Matilda and she struggled alone to get to Canada with a child and expecting another. I loved all the information about all the history of the gold rush and how people struggled to get there. Pearse does her research! Good for her. '
