Like Lost Sheep: A Riverside Story unfolds in a quiet English town where romance, secrets, and social circles collide by the water’s edge. Dive into a tale of love tested by truth, pride, and the pull of family duty.
In these pages, a tense evening near Lonefield Grange sets the stage for a clash between passion and propriety. As conversations drift between affection and accusation, readers glimpse the fragile balance between truth and appearance in a world of deep loyalties and sharp tongues. The setting—river, meadow, and a moonlit boat—frames a story that examines how far people will go to protect their standing, and what it costs when affection runs up against obligation.

- Intense personal conflict centered on marriage, legitimacy, and the power of reputation
- Rich social details from a close-knit community and its rivalries
- Lush, atmospheric descriptions of countryside scenery and a twilight river scene
- Witty, sharply observed dialogue that reveals character and motive

Excerpt from Like Lost Sheep, Vol. 1 of 3: A Riverside Story
"And this, you say, must be the end of it all?"
"What would you have? All things, like men and women themselves, must come to an end in some way or other-sooner or later, you know."
A pause. Then the woman - in reality she was little more than a girl - said:
"Well, the end of - of all this has come round terribly soon, I think, looking back to the beginning of it, remembering how it began!"
