A gripping family saga from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Coal Miner's Daughter. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Dilly Court
Maggie Hope was born in County Durham, during the Depression of the
1930s. She is the daughter of a coal miner and knows first-hand the
hardships suffered by miners and their families during that
time.
Along with her three sisters, she was raised in a 'two-up-two-down'
miner's cottage with no inside toilet. Growing up, Maggie never
dreamed she could earn a living from her writing. Instead she left
school at sixteen and became a nurse, collecting stories from
colleagues who had served during the war.
Maggie gave up nursing when she married her husband and started a
family. It wasn't until she was in her 50s though that she finally
began her writing career. She is now the Sunday Times bestselling
author of fifteen novels.
