ⓘ About Helen Forrester
When her dad went bankrupt during the Great Depression, the family was thrust into poverty, and evicted from the comfortable home in an English market town. They had nothing more than the clothes on their backs, and this large family took the train off to Liverpool, hoping to rebuild their lives. As her dad looked for work unsuccessfully, the family had to live together in just a single room. Being the oldest child, twelve year old Helen was kept out of school in order to watch her six little siblings. The family, for the next few years, were forced to rely on the meager handouts from the parish, as well as the kindness of strangers. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Helen Forrester has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
