\u201cBut then we need to be getting back.\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d Warden Barrow said, voice dripping with contempt. \u201cI imagine there\u2019s plenty to sort out over there with the police.\u201d \u201cYes. And the parish as well.\u201d \u201cAnd the inmate who escaped, what of her? She isn\u2019t in this batch, is she?\u201d \u201cNo, no,\u201d the woman replied firmly. \u201cWe do not know where she is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as well, I should think. Though she deserves her comeuppance for that ghastly attack. And the paper said an inmate was found dead, Sister?\u201d A pause. \u201cYes. But by her own hand, God rest her soul.\u201d \u201cMm. Well. Fortunately we have better security here for the staff than you have at St. Agnes\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The fourth-floor staff quarters are secured for just this sort of reason. These girls are always better off in cells than running wild in dormitories. Give them an inch and they take a mile, every time.\u201d Barrow tsked. \u201cNow\u2026get them lined up against that wall there and we\u2019ll process them through my office. I was told there would be eighteen, is that right?\u201d \u201cCorrect.\u201d \u201cAny of them due to give birth imminently?\u201d \u201cTwo or three, in the next month or so.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, but may I ask what that odour is?\u201d The warden let out a dramatic sigh. \u201cA lice outbreak. We have it under control.\u201d There was a clipping of heels and Emily stepped back from the door just as the warden appeared there. Their eyes met. \u201cWhat are you doing, Radcliffe?\u201d Barrow snapped. \u201cGet away from the door. Go sit until your hour is up.\u201d She grasped the doorknob and yanked it shut with a snap.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, this tastes like summer, doesn\u2019t it?\u201d Emily said, popping one of the five local strawberries on her plate into her mouth and biting down, revelling in the explosion of tangy juice. The strawberries were the first fresh fruit\u2014aside from bruised apples\u2014that Emily had seen since her arrival at the Mercer. The girls on dinner prep duty had reported to anyone who would listen that the fruit had been delivered by the uncle of one of the inmates. He had a farm just outside the city, near Brampton.<\/p>\n

Emily was already dreaming of the autumn harvest she loved, the corn, squash, parsnips, and the pumpkin tarts her mother made every Thanksgiving. She would miss it this year, but she knew Bess would put up preserves and freeze the pies for Christmas. As the weeks wore on, Emily felt a greater sense of accomplishment at the information she\u2019d collected so far.<\/p>\n

A story that unsettles, ignites, and refuses to let you look away\u2014a fierce reclaiming of women\u2019s voices once silenced.\u201d \u2014Ellen Keith, bestselling author of The Dutch Orphan \u201cHeather Marshall writes with such heart, precision, and power. In Liberty Street, she brings hidden truths and forgotten women vividly to life, weaving a story that is both beautifully told and urgently needed. Evocative, important, and gripping.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky \u201cLiberty Street is the story of resistance we need right now: a brilliantly heartfelt novel of two remarkable women\u2014separated by decades yet linked by a passion for justice\u2014who take on patriarchal corruption.

Heather Marshall is a brilliant archeologist unearthing women\u2019s lost history.\u201d \u2014Elizabeth Renzetti, author of What She Said \u201cUtterly captivating. I found myself sneaking extra pages in whenever I could. Heather Marshall writes with urgency and passion about the injustices placed on women\u2019s lives and weaves it into a story that will latch onto your mind, with characters so real you\u2019ll want to reach through the pages to shout at them, but also to ache and cry and root for them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s said often, and maybe too easily, but in this case I believe it to be true: this book is a triumph. Heather Marshall is a dedicated champion of women\u2019s rights, revealing the hard truths behind untold women\u2019s stories.\u201d \u2014Charlene Carr, author of Hold My Girl OceanofPDF.com Praise for The Secret History of Audrey James \u201cHeather Marshall firmly establishes both her commitment to sharing women\u2019s untold stories and the intricate power of her craft.<\/p>\n

Gripping, haunting, and inspiring, The Secret History of Audrey James is historical fiction full of meaning and heart, and an unforgettable account of the profound impact of sacrifice and survival across generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
