Each title stands alone but shares Maggie Hope's trademark warmth and eye for period detail. In A Mother's Courage, Eleanor Saint devotes herself to helping poorer families in her mining town, even as her own domestic life grows complicated. The Miner's Girl follows a young woman striving for a better life against a colliery backdrop. In A Daughter's Duty, Rose Sharpe is forced to leave school at fourteen, her hopes of independence crushed by a domineering father. A Daughter's Gift follows Elizabeth, orphaned with her siblings and sent to a children's home; determined and loyal, she fights to keep her family connected. A Daughter's Secret tells of sisters Cath Raine and her sibling, abandoned by their mother and left to fend for themselves in an unforgiving town. In Eliza's Child, new mother Eliza hopes her husband Jack will leave his gambling behind, only to be abandoned when he loses their home. The collection closes with Workhouse Child, in which three-year-old Lottie is sent to the workhouse after her mother's death, and must claw her way towards a family and future of her own. Together, the seven novels form a rich portrait of resilience and hard-won hope in early twentieth-century working-class Britain.. Key Benefits:.
