Women Like That

She had the best of friends and the greatest love. Now she has nothing. Will she have the strength to carry out the fight of her life?

Scotland 1914: Aged 14, Mhairi is forced into adulthood. Evicted from her family home in rural Scotland, separated from her parents, she must find her own way in life in the brutal world of itinerant workers. A year later, she moves to Glasgow in search of her family, a home, employment, something. As she fights for survival in a city of strangers, she finds companionship in the most unlikely of places. And then she finds love.

But there is war, the world is a terrible place, and the cost of standing up for what you believe in can be high.

Mhairi fights on nonetheless, but she has made an enemy and he is powerful. Women like her have no place in his world and he will do whatever it takes to suppress her.

When the unthinkable happens she loses everything again, including her freedom.

With true friendship comes resilience, even during the darkest moments.
