He thinks he is untouchable...she has other ideas
His desire is power...hers is justice
October 1880
May and Ernie, two orphans, make their way through the Old Nichol slum of London seeking a safe place to sleep.
Only ten year old May would live to see the morning and what she witnesses that freezing night will shape her life
forever.
Wherever her path leads from the slum - to Doctor Barnardo's Village and then to Canada - May resolves to see justice for Ernie.
She couldn't help him then, as a child, but power and privilege will not be enough to protect Ernie's murderer.
Someday, she swears, he will pay. May has no doubts...but how?
The first Bookfunnel Historical Fiction promotion she has taken part in ran from 25th July to 22nd August.
'A Resolute Child' is her first novel. The idea came when she lived close to Barnardo's Head Office and the remains of the original village in Barkingside. In recognition of the part Barnardos plays in the novel and the work on behalf of children that continues today, it has been agreed that a proportion of sales will be donated to the organisation. She now lives in East Sussex not far from Cuckmere Haven and the view that has appeared in many films and TV series.
Jacqueline is currently researching a follow up novel shedding light on the life of enigmatic Peg, who is an important character to the 'Resolute Child' and heroine of the novel - May Harris.
