Welcome to Litsy!

The Amusing and Heartwarming Prequel to the Multi-Genre Family Saga Series, Herring Cove Road. With her mother's death two years before, her father's recent marriage to a woman she doesn't get along with, and then finding herself engaged to a man she isn't even sure she loves, Ruth Goldman has decided to take a year off to discover what she wants in life. It's the early 1930's, and with a small savings, the support from her much older and life-long best friend (her family's servant, ) and little knowledge of the common world, Ruth sets off to Cambridge, England, where she will meet some 'different' characters, learn what life is like for a single, independent working woman during the depression and befriend a young man who makes up for his lack of looks with his wit, amusing idiosyncrasies and his love for practical jokes. On her adventure of self-discovery, Ruth will find more than she ever expected. Unbeknownst to Ruth, a secret hides within her family that will eventually enlighten her to herself and to her past and permanently change the direction of her future.
