Marie Joseph Omnibus

Gemini Girls, Footsteps in the Park and Maggie Craig

Summary

Here in a specially chosen edition are three of Marie Joseph's best-loved novels.

GEMINI GIRLS:
Libby and Carrie were more than sisters. Mirror images, they were different sides of the same heart, impossible to separate or divide. Until they both fell in love with Tom.
FOOTSTEPS IN THE PARK:
The Lancashire town was divided between the haves and the have-nots, between mill-owning Boltons and mill-working Armstrongs. But Dorothy Bolton was determined to cross the chasm and risk everything for the love of Stanley Armstrong ...
MAGGIE CRAIG
At the turn of the century the North of England was a harsh, bleak world - where joy and love were words in someone else's book. Strong-willed and beautiful, Maggie Craig flew in the face of that world ... and found that her passion was to cost her dearly all her life.
