‘Gutsy… a vivid picture of a hard-up, hard-working community… will keep the pages turning’ – Daily Express
Liverpool, 1907. Thanks to their father’s success, sisters Livvie and Amy Goodwin are moving from their cramped home to a roomier house on the outskirts of Liverpool. But tragedy strikes when their adored mother dies in childbirth. The girls are still grieving when Thomas introduces their new stepmother – a woman just a few years older than Livvie.

Their relationship is a dangerous enough secret, but Livvie’s interest in the Suffragettes could drive Thomas to the edge. For the Goodwin girls, the happy future they once took for granted is far from certain…
