Connie’s Courage (2004)
“It was the week before Christmas, Mavis had gone to New Brighton to see her family and to take her Christmas presents to them, as they were both working on Christmas Day. Vera had gone out with her young man and Josie was on duty, which had left Connie free to complete her self-imposed task.
Apprehensively, she turned to look over her shoulder, but to her relief the dingy street was empty. Even so, Connie was nervously aware of being in a part of the city which was neither safe nor desirable.
A...nd yet, she had lived here with Kieron, she reminded herself, as she hurried down the street, hoping that she did not look as vulnerable and out of place as she felt.
It might be less than a year since she had left this area, but already the time she had spent here was a dim memory she wanted to forget rather than to remember.
The laughing, loving girl who had come here with Kieron had gone. She was a different person now, Connie recognised. A wiser, more cautious, person who bitterly regretted what she had done.MoreLess
