The bond between a mother & her child is the closest there is. A mother would do anything to protect her child. But what happens when the child is suffering beyond imagination? Should a mother allow her child to die to save them from pain? Frances Inglis & Kay Gilderdale were faced with this appalling dilemma, &, after intense private torment, acted to end the lives of their children. In dramatic cases, which gripped the hearts of everyone who followed them, both mothers were prosecuted for their actions: Frances was found guilty & went to prison, Kay was set free. A Mother's Love is the story of these two women & the decisions they had to make. A majority of the British people now believes that the law needs to be changed in such right-to-die cases. If you were caught in such a nightmarish situation, what would you do? ...

Product Description

One dismal day in 1857, Maria Mundy arrives at Hatter's Hall, the local mental asylum, not as an inmate but as a worker. Here, she is ordered to care for Isabelle Montgomery, the daughter of an influential l&-owner. 

But Isabelle is not insane. She, like many other young women confined within the walls, has been banished here by her family. Hatter's Hall serves to hide unmarried women, in the family way, from prying eyes.

As the women's lives become entwined, they realise the dangers they face. But there is only one way out of Hatter's Hall.

The women must escape & there is one man who can help, Isabelle's brother Joshua
- who can barely keep his eyes off Maria. Otherwise, there's every chance they might never leave.
