The Wild Poppy

Description

Living during the time of Florence Nightingale and the first woman doctor, Melody is determined to succeed as a newspaper reporter. But in 1864, a female reporter is unheard of, and because of the prejudice of the male establishment, Melody finds it difficult to persuade an editor to buy her articles.

She finally confronts the attractive but enigmatic owner of the Cork Street Journal, Guy Wyngate, who reluctantly gives her the opportunity to prove herself. But first she must face the difficult challenges thrown at her, since Guy wants to test her commitment to the newspaper business.

This commitment will have consequences on her future happiness with the man she gave her heart to when a young girl and to another who is waiting to win her love.
