The Chainmakers Box Set: The white slaves of England, the fight for women's suffrage, the rise of Hitler, and the night of broken glass Kindle Edition
The Chainmaker's Wife - England 1911: following the successful strike by women chainmakers for the legal minimum wage, and the death of the chain master, Matthew Joshua, Jack and Rosie find themselves on the other side of the fence when they are thrust into running the chain factory for Matthew's widow, Marion. Along with their new responsibilities, Jack and Rosie have to contend with national strikes, riots, and shortages. Ever the activist, Rosie defies Jack and is gaoled when fighting for women's suffrage, while Marion plots to write Jack out of Rosie's life and steal Rosie’s daughter Emma. Jack's attempt to keep Rosie safe at home by betraying her trust in the most underhand way backfires spectacularly. Can they find forgiveness, yet again? The outbreak of war brings new challenges to an already fraught relationship, and both determine to do their bit for the war effort with potentially devastating consequences.
The Chain Mistress - Raised by strong women who fought for the national minimum wage and votes for women in the early 1900s, Emma is looking for a cause. The depression that followed WW1 sees her joining hunger marches to London, but it's discovering she has a Jewish cousin, Hanne, in Germany, that turns her life upside-down. As Nazi storm clouds gather over Europe, Emma determines to get Hanne and her family to safety in England, or at least, get Hanne's little son, Asher, out on a Kindertransport. She doesn't reckon on the depth of Hitler's tyranny or countries closing their borders to refugees.

About the author

Rebecca lives near Britain's smallest city, St Davids, in the far west of Wales. Surrounded by stunning coastal and moorland scenery, she also loves to paint. She inherited her love of stories from her grandfather, who told stories with his hands: stories with colourful characters and unexpected endings. Her fascination with what makes people who they are, and the belief that life is many shades of grey, informs her writing. A Native American Indian proverb reads, 'Don't judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.' Rebecca has based her life on this tenet: it is certainly core to her writing. 'We may not condone what a person does, but sometimes we can understand and maybe come to forgive.' In 2019, she won the IAN Fiction Book of the Year prize, the IAN Outstanding Historical Fiction prize, and the Readers' Favorite Gold Medal for Historical era/event Fiction.
Her books have been awarded Readers' Favorite 5-star reviews.

5.0 out of 5 stars A POWERFUL NOVEL..
The Chipmakers Trilogy is such a powerful novel.
It tells of families who worked for so little wages making chains - Rosie was bought up like all the other children, tired to their mother's waist the day after birth while mother's worked with the heat and the banging of hammers -
With so little wages they worked like slaves as people were starving.
The story follows Rosie into a young girl and marrage. After learning of Mary McCuthur, founder of the sweating league, Rosie joins in getting others to follow.
Then there is Emma, Rosie's eldest child who has to over come many things, but with strength and courage, Emma proves to deal with life herway with things so important to her and the ones she loves.
Each book brings - starvation, rape, strikes for better wages, the sufferget movement, World War one, with thousands of lives lost, and influenza by U S troops interning the war and once there spreading over civilization and was so contagious, ending with the Rise of Hitler and the hate for the Jews.
The author has used fictitious characters in the novel, with true people's names. At the end of each book, the author puts in her research.
I congratulate the author for such a powerful novel, that makes you realise the hardships and heartbreak went through to make a better life than those people lead, and those who lost love ones through hate that should never exist, but sadly it did, and still does.
