Produktbeschreibung
Emily Redfern is seven years of age when she goes to live with her father, Danny, and volatile stepmother, Betty, in the vibrant world of Travelling People. And it?s a world far removed from the one she?s known on a farm outside Lancaster, called Jenny Wren Cottage. But her grandmother has died; things have changed; this is where her future lies now. As she learns to come to terms with her new life and the challenges it brings, she forms a close bond with her father and new brother, David, when he arrives. But her heart will always remain at her ?real home?, Jenny Wren Cottage. Little does she know of the past and her father?s private struggle with a love that transcends death. When she meets the ambitious young Nick on a fleeting visit, her loyalties are severely tested. However, there?s a devious man amongst them, and it?s his actions that will ultimately decide both futures. Spanning the 60s and 70s, this is a heart-rending story of pride, prejudices, and conflicting traditions?told with humour, wit and candour.

Autorenporträt
An IT trend watcher for over 18 years, Mary Allen has covered the full spectrum of ICT subjects as journalist, analyst and commentator. She began her professional involvement with the IT industry as a freelance Research Associate with IDC Canada, and authored executive-level research reports on the IT services industry and other hardware and software topics over a 10 year period. As the first lead author for IDC's IT Market Perspectives program, she commented on trends in Canadian IT in landmark reports on industry growth, the relative positions of leading market players, and on the deployment of IT solutions by Canadian public and private-sector businesses. After working on assignments for other clients (including Info-Tech Research Group), Mary helped found the pioneering IT in Canada social media website. As the site's News Editor, she was responsible for coverage of news and trends across the full range of Canadian industry issues, and posted thousands of articles to the site, while serving as Senior Editor for IT in Canada's bi-monthly print publication. Mary also supported IT in Canada's microsite strategy, acting as Editorial Director for specific content portals, including The Sustainability Platform, a microsite devoted to dialogue on ICT support for CSR goals. She leveraged this domain knowledge into a three year term as a columnist for Bloomberg BNA on green ICT innovation. Drawing on her long term experience with IT research and media, Mary now works as Managing Editor for InsightaaS, a boutique analyst firm that connects research, in-depth industry coverage and leading social platforms to uncover the "why" in enterprise technology. She also acts as a lead analyst for the Toronto Cloud Business Coalition, a cross disciplinary community of ICT professionals focused on developing best practices in the adoption of advanced cloud, IoT and analytics technologies. In these roles, Mary will continue to deliver insight into key trends shaping the global IT industry.
