THE SUFFRAGETTE: A heartrending novel of one woman's fight for justice and love (Tyneside Sagas Book 2)

Raised in the slums of Edwardian Tyneside, spirited and out-spoken Maggie Beaton joins the ranks of the suffragettes, determined to prove herself to her more wealthy comrades, in particular Alice Pearson, haughty daughter of the powerful local shipbuilder. But Maggie is betrayed by someone close and is soon a fugitive, spurned by family and friends. Only miner and passionate man, George Gordon, stands by her and for a blissful time his love is enough. But war is looming and Maggie is left alone and pregnant. Will she ever see George again? Her courage and endurance will be tested to the limit, in this heartbreakingly moving and inspiring novel.
