THE MORNING OF HER DAY The story of Mary Morgan, hanged in Wales in 1805 for the murder of her bastard child

Paperback. 2nd Edn. This is the story of a woman who saw a gravestone and became a writer. From then on she became obsessed with the death and life of a 17yr old servant girl who was hanged in 1805 for the murder of her bastard child. There was no escape from the historical web that the myth, hearsay and fact weaved around her and the great change it brought about as she approached the middle years of her life. She took on the pain of the town that had carried a secret for almost 200yrs; a town that was divided in its loyalties to the dead girl. It would have been so easy to give up the search for the truth but the possibilities of a gross miscarriage of justice, albeit in the previous century, confirmed her beliefs that fair play should be available to all, regardless of class. Illus. 143pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Review copy with loosely inserted slip. Vg+
