Agnes in Bloom

Discovering gut-wrenching family secrets isn’t easy.

Secrets... kept out of shame, or in the name of love, can tear a world apart.

Young Agnes was a survivor. She somehow withstood the absence of a father, the loss of her little brother, and the rape at seventeen which left her pregnant.

Against all odds, she found true love and married her sweetheart.

Then the unthinkable happened!

Agnes in Bloom is a gritty, true-life, kitchen-sink drama, of a young mother’s struggle to overcome loss, tragedy, and harsh poverty.

Trapped by society’s expectations of a single mother in 1960s England, she must find the courage to carry on and find happiness in a world that seems so determined to crush her.

Follow her desperate fight to keep her eight children away from the grips of child services.

 Simultaneously tragic and hopeful. 

A riveting and ultimately uplifting story about love over loss and the choices we make when confronted by the unimaginable.

"Whilst reading this book I was transported back in time and felt as if I was walking alongside by the side with Agnes on her journey through her life. At times it was harrowing and I was so close to tears, but she triumphed and my tears stayed away. I didn’t want to put it down as all I wanted was for Agnes and her children and Rose to have a happy life"

"I could not put this book down. A true story of a remarkable woman and her beautiful family. Some of the story resonates with my family's journey. Can’t wait to read all about her next journey. Thank you Karen xx."

"Read the entire book in one day. Well written, a true story about how one strong and resilient woman soldiered on through times of great adversity and still managed to hold her family together. Full of highs and lows. Loved the happy ending which provided a real feel-good factor. Highly recommend it as a good read!"
