A Legacy Forged

Based on true historical events, in 1822, ten-year-old Matthew Seller escapes an abusive father and a punishingly hard life. He trusts fate and embarks on his journey across a dramatically changing landscape to navigate his way to Birmingham. Gripped by the Industrial Revolution, it's in this great city that Matthew sparks a legacy that burns through the next five generations. A Legacy Forged weaves the lives of the Seller family with the Irish immigrant Cahills, creating a rich tapestry of characters shaped by resilience and hope. From the squalid back-to-back slums of Birmingham, the story explores complex relationships between fathers and sons, and the quiet strength of the women whose wisdom and courage shape their family's fortunes.
