In Search of Mary Ann — Helen Dalzell

'Although she had always known she was adopted, it was only recently that Lisa had learned that her real mother was still alive, somewhere - and it seemed only natural to see if she could trace her. She managed to track her as far as a small Devonshire village - but when she arrived there she was met by a wall of silence from the villagers.

Hero: Guy de Vivier
Heroine: Lisa Marchand
