The Cornish Blacksmith’s Daughter

Blacksmith’s daughter Verity Tregorran is in love with local lad Ned Chegwidden, who is serving in the trenches of World War 1. However, Verity can’t reveal her feelings for Ned to her parents, as they would be horrified to learn of her attachment to someone outside the family’s strict Christian sect. One evening as she’s walking along a coastal path, Verity witnesses something suspicious on the cliffs. Fearing the involvement of German spies, she confides what she saw to Effie Dawes, wife of the local police constable who’s also fighting overseas. Although scandal threatens to rock the Dawes family, Effie and Verity are determined to find out what happened on the cliffs.
