Tonight I am going to start reading Jane Elliott - Sadie
Blurb from back of the book
Sadie Burrows' life is torn apart by the death of her father and the brutal man who replaces him.
In the chill of a winter morning in her flat on the rough Summer Estate, sweet thirteen-year old Sadie's childhood comes to an abrupt end.
Sadie survives her hideous ordeal and becomes a millionaire businesswoman with a high class sex and lingerie shop and a chain of gentlemen's clubs.
Then, out of the blue, there is a knock at her door and Sadie's shameful secret comes back to haunt her.

This sounds very similar to Martina Cole's style of writing so I am looking forward to reading it.
