Books by Maggie Bennett

Born into the squalor of the notorious Ash-Pits, young Susan is determined to raise herself above the poverty of her childhood. Discovering she has a natural talent for nursing, she forges a new life for herself - and as an independent, unmarried midwife, she is a woman far ahead of her time. Can Susan escape the dark shadows of her childhood?

Young Mabel Court, child of her mother's hasty marriage to a spendthrift, becomes 'little mother' to her brothers and sisters growing up in south London at the start of the twentieth century.

Set in the aftermath of the Great War, this work presents a story of prejudice, passion and one woman's struggle to fight for what she really wants in life - against all odds.
