Her new saga, The Tuppenny Child (Headline, May 2019), tells the story of 17 year old Sadie Linthorpe, who arrives in Ryhope, seeking work and a home in the pit village. But Sadie is keeping a secret - she’s searching for her baby girl who was taken from her at birth and cruelly sold by the child's grandmother. But as Sadie's quest begins, a visitor from her past appears - one who could jeopardise the life she's beginning to build and ruin her chances of finding her beloved child forever…
Glenda lives in the North-East and has written short stories for Take a Break, My Weekly and The People’s Friend.
