Bad Bridget® @BadBridget
So we wrote this. We couldn't quite squeeze in every #BadBridget but we got in a fair few! And we really, really hope you'll like it. Hitting the shelves in January 2023 #nervouswrecks
From murder, theft and kidnapping to adultery and ‘stubborn’ girls, BAD BRIDGET by @Elaineffarrell & @Leannemcck is the story of the forgotten Irish girls and women who crossed the Atlantic.

Out 26 Jan 23, available to pre-order now - linktr.ee/badbridget
