1912, Loughborough. Molly and Queenie are best friends living on the same street, both are in love with Harry Spencer, though he has made his choice in Queenie . . . Molly, with determined spirit, becomes increasingly involved in the Suffragette cause and grows in confidence. She is blamed for vandalizing a post box and later for distributing white feathers, a symbol of cowardice, to some of the young men she knows, sparking tension and casting her out of her friendships. With the onset of WW1, the Suffragettes redirect their efforts to war support. Harry and the young men volunteer for the army and, in the trenches, one of them confides them that Molly was innocent of delivering white feathers . . . Tragedy strikes when Harry and his friends are gravely injured at war. On his return home, Queenie avoids Harry's injuries, revealing her true nature, while Molly supports Harry, and with the men's revelation of her innocence, she is deemed the true heroine and woman of spirit.

About the Author

Born in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, Margaret Dickinson moved to the coast at the age of seven and so began her love for the sea and the Lincolnshire landscape. Her ambition to be a writer began early and she had her first novel published at the age of twenty-five. This was followed by many further titles including Plough the Furrow, Sow the Seed and Reap the Harvest, which make up her Fleethaven trilogy. She is also the author of The Buffer Girls and its sequel Daughters of Courage. Margaret is a Sunday Times top ten bestseller.
