About The Author

Maggie Hope

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.
