True love sometimes comes at a price. East Kent, 1830. Catherine Rook takes her peaceful life for granted. Her days are spent at the village school and lending a hand on her family’s farm. Life is run by the seasons, and there’s little time for worry. But rural unrest begins sweeping through Kent, and when Pa Rook buys a threshing machine it brings turbulence and tragedy to Wanstall Farm.
from the publisher's description
An intriguing tale of family relationships and of finding love a second time around . . . I’ll be sure to look out for the next book in the series.
Val Wood
An enthralling plotline with unexpected twists that will intrigue the reader until the last page.

I enjoyed reading Half a Sixpence and following the fortunes and tribulations of Catherine . . . It gave a very good sense of time and place and I hope it does really well for her.
Rosie Goodwin
What a treat. A Saga so refreshingly different from anything I have read before. A terrific story the reader will find impossible to put down . . . The tale that Evie tells us is fascinating, gripping, sad, happy, highly original and yes, you’ll find out all about that half sixpence.
Eileen Ramsay
A dazzling debut that reminded me of the Catherine Cookson books I have loved so much. Brilliant historical fiction that draws you in and does not let you go. Even better, this is the first book in a trilogy. We can’t wait until the next instalment
Frost Magazine
I absolutely loved, loved, loved reading Half A Sixpence and I can’t wait to read more from the pen of Evie Grace
