Daughters of the Hive

Three women, separated by centuries, share a bloodline, a stone cottage on the Yorkshire moors, and a stubborn refusal to be erased. Elspeth faces a witchcraft trial in 1640s England. Felicity battles a railroad surveyor who would steal her land in the 1840s. Edith, pregnant and cast out in the 1920s, discovers their hidden writings and learns that silence is the weapon used against women like her. Across the generations, each must fight to protect what the others built—and leave behind proof that they existed at all.
