1867: The village of Little Creek in the long winter of 1867
The first flakes of snow are falling when Daisy Marshall, secretly engaged to her master’s son, finds herself jilted at the altar.
Heartbroken, Daisy flees to the small village of Little Creek, nestled on the coast of Essex. There she is warmly welcomed – but the village is poverty-stricken, suffering under a cruel Lord of the manor. And when cholera hits, the villagers are truly in dire straits.
Determined to help, Daisy makes new friends in earnest doctor Nicholas and dashing smuggler Jay – but also dangerous new enemies, who threaten to destroy everything she’s built. Can Daisy save the village and find happiness in time for Christmas?
This little village is fictional but just look at how cute this is according to the map! This is the map from the book and there was no better way to recreate it.
Little Creek is a small village and it is one where poverty lives side by side its inhabitants. The houses are barely habitable as the walls are thin and the homes are falling apart but that’s because the local Squire is only interested in making money out of them and taking their rent without doing any repairs.
This is the village where Daisy works before she has to decide to stay there or return to London. You might think a small village is safer than the capital city but you never know,,,
