A warm-hearted 'rags-to-riches' saga for fans of Dilly Court and Katie Flynn
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.
