As a survivor of a brutal attack by the Yorkshire Ripper, this book gives fresh insight into the consequences of being labeled a victim of this notorious serial killer.

Mo was followed home by Peter Sutcliffe who a hit her over the head repeatedly with a hammer. She was stabbed with a screwdriver leaving her with life threatening injuries.

It reveals how Mo Lea has wrestled with the past and never quite come to terms with the well-trodden, morbid narrative. She has written a new, fresh perspective for the present day.

Her writing offers an alternative account, for her to be repositioned as a survivor with a success story.

Yorkshire born and living in Northamptonshire I have been involved in writing true crime for over twenty years. I tend to focus on murder cases between 1850-1960. The aim always to tell a good story, understand the characters involved and, where possible, give a personal view of the case and those affected. For me it is essential to be very aware of just how much a murder case, regardless of time past, would have impacted upon family and friends.  Murder, by its very nature, is an appalling crime. It is also often hard to understand. My intention when I begin writing is to do justice to the known facts and tell a truthful, factual story.

Jacki Hill-Murphy has spent the last 10 years researching female explorers of the 18th and 19th centuries and recreating their expeditions.
She does so as faithfully as possible, at the same time of year with similar forms of transport where possible.
This episode is a little different to the others, because as well as the incredible adventures and journeys Jacki goes on, part of the fascination for me was in the stories of these women. In an era where they had almost no rights of their own; were expected to marry; wear dresses and corsets, they decided to take on arduous, dangerous journeys with very little experience.
