And then I just expected my book, I wrote 250,000 words, and I expected part of them words to be thrown away and it doesn't seem like they have thrown any of it away because the book is massive. I desperately fought to keep hold of my own children for what seemed like a lifetime. My heart ached for them. I would have died without my children in my arms. The book is about the first 30 years of my life which I wasn't in control of at that time, there were outside obstacles that I had to try and overcome. She spent her days writing the book in her spare time whilst using her other time working at the Royal Bolton Hospital.

It states: "What happened within our family should never have happened. It shattered our lives like glass. Maggie will also release a new book in the future, this time for children, showing them the history of growing up on the estate in Johnson Fold, like an Enid Blyton-style novel.

The book took Maggie 17 years to write and follows the first 30 years of her life growing up in Johnson Fold. As I grew and became a mother, those earlier dreams were hidden away and I devoted my life and all my pride in raising my children. They grew and had families of their own, and the empty nest syndrome was and still is too hard to bear.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. With no-one to talk to throughout the trauma, I became isolated. Segregated. My family became strangers unaware of the inner torment I was facing. The happiness of my family, the rebuilding of our lives, and the hope that one day the bitter family feud will be over, once and for all." I had counselling and they said to write everything down, so it was pen and paper at my dining room table when my children were small and I wrote when they were at school and it just carried on from there.
