2018 marks 100 years since votes for women!

So what better time for people to read a novel with an authentic suffragette backdrop set amongst present day family conflict and ask: Is a liberated woman ever truly free? Does my first novel, The Purple Rose hold the answer? And what about the next generation? How did the suffragettes actions affect their children, grandchildren and even the great grandchildren?

In Not in our Hands, my second novel, you’ll see what kind of a young man one such great grandchild became. But you’ll also be with him as he discovers Tuscan secrets, beautiful Umbria and forbidden love.
