What to expect from in the wide open light
She is fighting for reform, but will she fight for the man she loves?
August 1819
At Northfield Hall, Julia Dixon needs a break from her life as a spinner and mother of three. When she hears that Henry Hunt will be addressing a crowd in Manchester, she decides to add her voice to calls for parliamentary reform.
Her husband, Samuel, doesn’t understand why Julia wants to travel far from home to fight for voting rights for other people—but he won’t stand in her way. After years apart from his family as a sailor, Samuel is grateful to have resurrected his marriage, and he intends to keep Julia happy, no matter what she needs.
As Julia departs, they both know the bonds of their marriage will be tested, but neither of them predict what Julia faces when she gets to St. Peter’s Field. In its aftermath, they are forced to reevaluate everything they hold dear as they fight to reunite once more.
Enjoy this one-hour read from award-winning author Katherine Grant!
Praise for in the wide open light
“5 Stars - Too few people know about the Peterloo massacre and it’s cruel injustice. This book is a short novel based on that incident. It brings to light the day to day struggles people faced to make ends meet and how difficult it is to stand up for your rights. It is also a love story about a couple overcoming adversity an£ find their comfort in each other. The epilogue makes the point that the struggle for rights continues. More people should understand this.”
“5 stars - This was an extremely intense and well written historical romance. It tells of a marriage having troubles, a woman burdened, drama, action, a reform gathering, government abuse, violence, prison, and so many emotional issues, plot twists, and intense moments that kept me very engaged, the characters were complex, interesting, and likable. I enjoyed how their love overcame many obstacles. The ending was very good. I highly recommend reading!”
