Produktbeschreibung
A young Irish girl of good family, caught between the requirement to conform and the desire to be free. Destined for the convent or perhaps wealthy spinsterhood and companionship to an elderly aunt, she finds herself held captive by her own actions on a road to the unknown. Fleeing a lynching, the life she could have had in tatters, she leaves her beloved Ireland behind for the cold Ogden Moors of Lancashire and a new life she must build for herself from nothing. It is a story of how often women, in a moment of naivete and passion, choose love over themselves.. It is a story most women enacted throughout the 20th Century and it continues still. Women will never have the freedom and equality they seek whilst they bear children and are held fast by the overwhelming love and sense of obligation it brings. They exchange freedom and dreams for what?... for family.
Autorenporträt
Born in the North West of England, Dee spent many years working in Theatre and TV both as a Designer, Production/Stage Manager and Casting Agent for TV and Film. In 2001 she met David Vaughan (60's Psychedelia Artist) who convinced her to pursue her artwork. It was from there that she developed a passion for writing also. ' When I wasn't painting, I would write and when I wasn't writing I would paint. It was all-consuming'. David sadly died in 2003, but his influence stayed with me. Recent family events caused a slight hiatus in her development as a writer, but now having moved to Kent with her Husband Duncan to help with her disabled granddaughter, (who is hard work but an absolute joy!) she has settled and is writing once more with a vengeance in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside. She cites her Gemini personality for the need to write in several genre's and she is equally happy absorbing herself in the creation of a children's adventure, family saga, or entrenched in the grit of a fast-paced thriller.
