Winds of Change, Book 3: Shifting Ground
About
London, 1919. The war is over, but the battle for women’s freedom has just begun.
Mary Hennessy traded her nursing uniform for marriage to a respectable doctor, only to discover that domestic respectability feels like a beautiful prison. Meanwhile, wealthy socialite Clarissa Fairweather finds herself swept off her feet by a charming war hero who seems to understand exactly what women truly need—and it isn’t the vote.
But Dr. James Morrison harbors dark secrets beneath his distinguished facade. As he manipulates Clarissa into leading a campaign against women’s suffrage, he’s simultaneously using blackmail to control Mary’s husband and destroy the very movement both women are beginning to understand they desperately need.
When Mary stumbles into suffrage work and Clarissa starts questioning everything she’s been taught about a woman’s proper place, their paths converge in ways that will challenge everything they believe about love, loyalty, and the price of independence. In a world where women’s choices are dictated by men’s fears, two women from opposite sides of London’s class divide must find the courage to forge their own destinies—before Morrison’s web of lies destroys them both.
Set against the backdrop of post-war Britain’s social upheaval, Shifting Ground explores the personal cost of political awakening and the dangerous power of those who would keep women silent. A story of friendship across class lines, the complexity of marriage and identity, and the transformative power of finding your voice in a world determined to silence it.
