Felicity's earliest memories are of pain and confusion of being beaten daily by her nan and watching her mum being beaten too. She ran away from home at fifteen.

In 1903 her great-grandmother Emily Swann was hung for the murder of her violent husband. The Wombwell Murder was a notorious case and it brought shame on Emily's orphaned children. Discovering the povery and hardships of Emily's life in Barnsley and the traumas her nan suffered as a girl Felicity came to see the destructive patterns that had been repeated in her family for nearly 100 years and was finally free to walk away into her own future.Read More
