It was her letter. Dear Tizzie, it read so why had it been thrown away before she'd seen it? Her family wouldn't do that to her, hide things from her? Families supported and aided each other didn't they? Especially on a Yorkshire Dale farm, in 1887 where life was tough enough without a falling out in the family. But niece Agnes knew something for she'd found the letter. Perhaps it was time for Tizzie to understand what her brother, Jack, his wife, Maggie, and their children had been up to. 'It's nowt good that's for sure.' Here she had been working herself down to skin and bones as a dairymaid for them, but what had they really done to her? She dreaded finding out but she must, or Agnes will suffer the same spinster fate. Sharp young Agnes longed to be a school teacher, showed Tizzie things weren't what she'd thought. Together they uncovered Jack and Maggie's treachery and Tizzie, shocked, robbed of all she wanted in life, determined to set Agnes free.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
