To Love And To Cherish

Echoes Along the Mersey

In To Love And To Cherish, Lyn Andrews transports readers to the bustling docks and cobbled streets of 1920s Liverpool, where the roar of steam engines and the scent of salt-laden air set the stage for an unforgettable tale of love, loss, and redemption. When spirited young seamstress Clara Donnelly returns home after the Great War, she finds her family’s legacy hanging by a thread: her father’s funeral parlour teeters on the brink of ruin, and her brothers are haunted by secrets better left buried. With determination as fierce as the incoming tide, Clara resolves to rebuild both business and bonds, but discovers that mending broken hearts may be more perilous than stitching fine silk.

Secrets Beneath the Lantern Light

As Clara navigates the labyrinthine alleyways of working-class Kensington Fields, she forms an unlikely alliance with Daniel O’Neill, a brooding former soldier turned newspaper photographer whose lens captures both beauty and despair. Together, they embark on a journey through war-scarred landscapes and moonlit wharves, tracing clues to a vanished fortune that could save the Donnelly name. But as whispers of betrayal swirl through overstuffed drawing rooms and clandestine investigations beneath gas lamps, Clara and Daniel must confront the ghosts of their pasts—and the growing tension between duty and desire.

A Promise Carved in Stone

Against the backdrop of charity bazaars, evening concerts in grand town halls, and the gentle lull of the Mersey at dawn, Clara and Daniel discover that true strength lies not in social standing, but in the courage to trust one another. Through moments of quiet sacrifice—a shared umbrella in a sudden downpour, a tender letter folded into a coffin’s lining—Andrews weaves a tapestry of community resilience and unwavering hope.

. “A sweeping saga of family loyalty, forbidden passions, and the unbreakable bonds that endure beyond life itself,” writes Lyn Andrews’s description.
