Going Home

For Amelia and her siblings the grim past which their mother Emily had endured seemed very far away. As pretty as a picture Amelia looked forward with pleasure to becoming acquainted with the young men clamouring to get to know her and especially the two gentlemen who had come all the way from Australia to meet her family. Ralph Hawkins bringing with him his friend Jack - a handsome half-aboriginal Australian - arrived in Hull looking for his roots. In his quest to find his real mother he uncovered some cruel and unpleasant truths before at last realising where his true destiny lay. He found Amelia whose tangled family history was inextricably bound up with his.
