Publisher's summary

Wenda Williams is just a girl when her father is killed, and the fishing industry in Polperro village is destroyed by a terrible storm. Her mother, Tamara, joined by the other widows, takes her and her baby brother Ollie to London. Here, Tamara becomes a fishwife selling fish in the London markets.

Wenda soon settles into the lively London street life and makes firm friends with Jonty Blake, the mischievous son of a neighbouring stallholder. When Jonty leaves London to become an apprentice in Scotland, Wenda is heartbroken. Not long after, Wenda loses her mother, and for a time, she believes her life will never amount to more than a series of misfortunes.

Wenda, however, is strong and willful, and she knows she must find a way to support her gifted brother, Ollie. Determined to make some kind of life for them, Wenda gets married but soon finds that this was a mistake, and she is left destitute again.

Now, supporting not only Ollie but her infant son Ruan, Wenda comes face to face with the love of her life, Jonty Blake. Blake, who is now a successful fishing fleet owner, soon magickes all her troubles away and carries her off to life in the Scottish Highlands in a thrilling romantic style that will have you unable to put the book down.

The Fisherman's Daughter is a story of loss and love and the power of the human spirit to defeat the odds in the name of love. Set in the world of fishing and fish markets, it creates a colourful picture of those people who love and live from the sea and its harvest.
