Running away led Sandra home. Searching for her past, Sandra meets her future… Everyone said Sandra Tate had it all. She ran the multi-million dollar corporation she’d built from scratch, drove a silver Jaguar, and lived in an elegant penthouse with her beautiful lover from an old Dallas society family. Everything she touched, it seemed, turned to gold. Beneath the glamorous veneer, however, Sandra Tate viewed her life quite differently. At work, it seemed the corporation ran her and left little time for the architectural design work she truly loved. At home, she was consumed with self-doubt over a relationship that had gone stale years ago. Now that Sandra had made it to the top, the poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks felt empty and powerless. Forced to take a leave of absence from her business, Sandra found herself adrift until a mysterious letter from the past propelled her to search for her mother–the woman who abandoned her when she was a child. When the journey leads her to a small diner in San Antonio, Sandra lets go of her golden life and finally begins to live… Frankie J. Jones is the best selling author of Room For Love, Captive Heart, Whispers in the Wind, and Rhythm Tide.

A young Welshman, Evan Jones, arrives in London towards the end of the 1930s. Attractive and agreeable to outsiders, he has the power to sell anything to anyone; and he sees other people as an opportunity. Across the city, Mrs Carter Blake sells her psychic powers, mixed with a healthy dose of charlatanism. Desperate to maintain a respectable life, though ashamed of her work, she preys upon the superstitious and susceptible rich. And the self-made capitalist, Corris Morgan, is one of the richest men in Europe, with the power to destroy anyone who crosses him. But even Corris has his weak points - and as he struggles to escape the fate he fears, both Mrs Carter Blake and Evan are drawn into his orbit and inexorably swept along with him. "The Midas Touch "was first published in 1938. Margaret Kennedy's "The Fool of the Family" is also available from Faber Finds.
