Blurb

Up on the Penguin website is the blurb for Heart of Gold… which is also below. See what you think? Catherine-Jean Wishart – or CJ as she prefers – is a hardworking young country girl with a heart of gold but a tough and challenging life. She works long, strenuous days in the male-dominated world
