Red Sky in the Morning is a heartwarming historical tale of love, hardship and family secrets, from bestselling author and Queen of the Saga, Margaret Dickinson. December 1946. It is two weeks before Christmas, and a young girl stands alone in the cobbled marketplace of a small Lincolnshire town, bedraggled and very afraid.

People rush by, not one of them pausing to help her, until kindly farmer Eddie Appleyard takes the time to comfort the lost figure and discovers her name is Anna. In a moment of generosity, Eddie offers her a home, much to the displeasure of his formidable wife, Bertha. Anna’s arrival will change their lives: Eddie’s, Bertha’s and even that of their young son, Tony, who is torn between his warring parents and the mysterious stranger.

As the years go by, the secrets of Anna’s past slowly come to light. While facing hardship, she will learn resilience and who she can truly call her family.
