Leaving Sheffield Mr John Downing 1. izdevums

Over three generations, starting in 1829, three strong, independent women fought to stamp their mark on the world. They would also raise families as self-reliant as themselves. One of those women, Eliza Brannan, would carry a dark, evil secret for years, breaking her silence only after marrying the man she had first met as a thirteen-year-old girl. The endeavours of the women for recognition as equals in a male dominated world would lead them all into difficult times, straining relationships and threatening lives, their own and their families. However, there was no deterring the women, demanding only the highest standards, not only from themselves but also from everyone around them. For generations the families? had lived in and around Sheffield but in 1913, Hannah Coppul made a decision that would see them leave Sheffield forever. Whether that decision would be the best one for all the members of her family only time would tell.
