About the Author:
THE PRICE OF SUCCESS WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
At the age of fourteen John Crossworth runs away from his poverty-stricken home, consumed with the ambition to return in triumph. Years later he does so, as the prosperous owner of the local pit. With him he brings his new wife – the handsome and brilliant Sarah. But she is viewed as an outsider within the closed mining community, regarded with suspicion as a Jewess. Rejected by the Crossworth family and by the miners, she is only accepted when tragedy strikes at the pit.
Rapidly building his empire, Crossworth turns from coal to cotton, founding a business dynasty which dominates the Lancashire town. But as time passes the consequences of the pit tragedy overshadow the children who were born on that fateful night – the co-inheritors of the fortune, the Crossworth twins. As the two brothers become enemies, the dream that their father made reality is threatened by greed, envy and revenge.
Alexandra Connor was born in Oldham and still has strong connections to Lancashire. As well as being a writer she is also a presenter on TV and BBC radio. She has written romances and suspense under a pseudonym, but now prefers to concentrate on stories inspired by her birthplace and its history.
