Book Description
Book Three: 1796 Should Jiddy stay, or should she go? When Jonas left Robin Hood’s Bay, he abandoned his vows to Jiddy. The sea engulfed Captain Samuel Ryethorpe, and his death exposed her once more as an outsider. Both young men believed they acted with high morals, but it was the amoral Captain Pinkney who threw Jiddy a lifeline. Now, the defiant seventeen-year-old resolves to find choices and freedom for local girls battered by poverty and confined by an insular community. Jiddy is determined. No man, no government, no place will hold them back. As friends find new beginnings, Jiddy looks across the moors to York, where love beckons. The North Sea entices with childhood dreams of distant places, but smuggling and hustling are all she has known. What’s it to be for our endlessly curious and contradictory Jiddy Vardy? Dramatic and atmospheric…I would recommend to fans of historical fiction with strong female leads. – Praise for High Tide by The Pages of Mrs D Brutal, breathtaking and brilliant! After reading Jiddy’s entire story, I’ve fallen in love with her. Such a legend! – Genevieve Robinson (Beta-reader)

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The Sunday Times Bestseller and Number 1 Sport Book of 2016 'A tale that's truly inspirational' The Sun An ordinary lad from Sheffield, Jamie Vardy has become known as an against-the-odds footballing hero the world over. Yet a few years ago, things couldn’t have been any more different. Rejected as a teenager by his boyhood club, Jamie thought his chance was gone. But from playing pub football and earning £30 a week at Stocksbridge Park Steels, while still working in a factory, his off-the-cuff performances saw him rise. Jamie had a wild and turbulent youth, but football became his saving grace and, once he filled his boots with goals at FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town, he moved to Leicester City. After the miracle of surviving relegation, the team of unlikely outsiders bonded together to achieve the unthinkable: Jamie set the record as the first player to score in 11 consecutive Premier League matches and Leicester beat odds of 5000-1 to become champions. Jamie has now been nominated for the Ballon d’Or, firmly establishing himself as one of England’s leading goal scoring footballers. Not forgetting his roots, however, he has set up the V9 Academy in a bid to find the next big talent from non-league football. Defying all expectations, this is the story of the boy from nowhere who reached the top in his own unflinching, honest words.
