Lockwood Inheritance Books in Order

In Yorkshire in 1897, Verity Lockwood faces the consequences of her father's drinking and her family's indebted mill. Taking responsibility means challenging expectations about women's roles while trying to protect her home and the workers who depend on it.

As Yorkshire moves toward the First World War, Verity Hardcastle balances raising very different twin daughters with life around Lockwood Mill. Political change, a new mill girl's secrets and growing family tensions threaten the security she has worked to build.

In 1939, Lockwood Mill's women work to supply uniform cloth while husbands and sons leave for war. Weaver Jessie Booth finds purpose in voluntary service as the owners' children enter dangerous military and secret work at home and abroad.
