The Hastie Girls is a fictional novel set within a picturesque village, among the hills of Northern England in the late 1950's. This tale of two sisters begins in a time and place of innocence, where life was simple and choices seemingly clear. Between the pages, an important message is weaved.
Belle Hastie's wish is to seek adventure, become a doctor, and escape her confining Northumbrian village. Emily Hastie's wishes are outwardly the opposite; to remain in Wethervale, and lead a secure life raising a family. They soon learn that no matter what choices one makes, nothing is ever ideal, or even what life seems on the surface.
Throughout this journey, their eyes are opened to the challenges of being human, but they also discover a deeper meaning of love and joy.
