Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, Lana. It means so much to us that our film struck a chord with you. We very much agree about the future. We will indeed channel these difficult times into something good and true, as Catherine did. Please take care.

Ditto ... because we know of her and nothing of them ....

I sincerely admired stories from this woman captured in film and now they have even greater meaning. Thank you

I second your comment: I may have grown old and a little cynical but her story and it's narration also touched me very much maybe because, despite It all, I still seek inspiration and the good in life and appreciate it more when I come across it.

Wow, thank you so much for that wonderful feedback, my friend. I've passed your compliments on to Kerry Browne, who played Catherine in our film. :) We really, really appreciate you taking the time to share such positive and uplifting words. And we're so glad that, 5 years on, our little project about Catherine Cookson continues to move and inspire people. Thank you.

Thank you, Laura! That line always gets us, too...

Those were beautiful words, Jill. Thank you so much for sharing them.

Truly staggering thoughtful words . Yes indeed she saw much she did much for the betterment of others , Read all her novels bought many film discs , The first book I ever read was The Fifteen Streets i loved The Glass Virgin The Dwelling Place , Kate Hannigan ,The Man Who Cried , so many more I hope she is writing stories in Heaven with her beloved husband Tom

Thank you so much for you kind words, Alexa. It's been 4 years since we made this film, and every now and then we receive a comment out of the blue that reminds us why we made it, and who we made it for. We're so glad you resonated with Our Catherine, it really means a lot to us knowing that. We'll be quoting you directly on the 'stunning tribute' and 'visual masterpiece' bit, in particular! :D Such high praise. Thank you, again. Take care.

Jan White - Thank you so much for sharing. I love "first hand accounts" of real people. C. Cookson, especially seemed to be a "Hero among Heros" and far more facinating than any written character she fleshed out. I would have loved to met her. Thanks to you and your share, I came close. Many thanks! Best wishes to all.

Jan White me too ! Love her work she’s one of the best writers I know!

I just finished Katie mullholand and you're right definitely a masterpiece. I was so sad to finish it as I really wanted to know what happened to Bridget and Daniel, I wish she'd written a sequel. Although the constant incest marriages and procreation were a bit too much.

Ian Sill have you ever been to beamish? It's an amazing museum and a lot of her movies were filmed there xx

Love beamish, I am from Teesside, my granddad was born in Byers green and I am part of kynren too in the northeast

it travels well 😁😁😁

It's such an adorable accent.

Well said. Their writings help us make sense of our lives, don't they?

Hello there - thank you so much for your kind words. :) Indeed, all we knew of Catherine was that she was someone our Mam's used to read. I would see books all over my Mother's bedside table, all of them with big, shining 'Catherine Cookson' letters adorning, in that trademark font and shine. Only since starting on this project did we grow to appreciate just what our mother's must have taken and gotten from those books. Thank you once again for your lovely compliments. We're so happy that the film moved you as you say it has, and that we managed to do Catherine justice. There's always that slight concern that you're going to do someone a disservice, or misrepresent in some way, when representing the experience of someone very real... We're very pleased that our film meets the approval of those who Catherine means so much to. Take care.

you can find alot of them at the website "better world books", they are gently used, actually can find many in great condition, and the price is right! I love her too....

I hope you find strength as did Catherine

Sorry to hear you are so down. Never mind think positive, things always gets better. Once there is life there is hope. According to the West African proverb, "you cannot live under the sky without seeing some clouds." This always helps me to feel more optimistic. Taket it easy and reverse your mindset today. Wishing you joy peace and love.

Thank you for being so honest and so vulnerable. You are clearly stronger than you perhaps know. We send you our love and support through this challenging part of your story. Keep going, for there is always light at the end of these tunnels we find ourselves in. What is it they say, "if you are going through hell - keep going". We certainly have had times in our lives where we've felt the way you did when you sent this comment, and we too have had to suffer & learn to find balance, and to set our souls free, as you so rightly put it. You will find your way. And you're not alone in this. This is indeed the journey we must all take in life. We wish you all the best in yours, and hope that our film was helpful to you in some way. Please take care, and remember that smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.

Huge hug.

@@UnifiedFilms thank you so much for your compassion and kindness. Your words were so beautiful and touched my heart in such a profound way. I re-read this everytime I'm feeling down and it lifts me right up. I want you to know how much I appreciate your time and really getting what I was saying. I guess we've all been there in life, we just have to keep pushing. I don't know who you are, but your comment holds a special place in my heart. God bless you.

Alejandra Parker I was introduced to her writing .

I have all her books, I was a teen and fell in love with her books, I am now 42 and still love her books and films

Thank you so much for this kind comment. We're so glad the film spoke to you. We hope you're staying safe in these challenging times!

Thank you for bringing Catherine to life, are you a professional actress?

hi kerry. your part in this video was haunting but at the same time quite beautiful. Loved the way it was portrayed, visiting old places that you (catherine) once knew. I love visiting places like this and often think of who once stood there before me in the past.

It seems we are all nostalgic. BTW, haunting is very pertinent here.@@newbigginphotoco.1175

Fran Looving you need to go to beamish! Lots of her films are made there! I live near where she was born, love her stories xx

Thank you. I will look into that.

Hi Fran, i'm one of the directors and writers on this film - thanks so much for you kind comment! It means the world to us that our film moved you like it did. We wish you the best of good fortune with your planned trip. Lots of love, the boys @ Unified Media

Fran Looving - Thanks so much for your share. I understand and relate to your history of a shared trip to Ireland with someone who ruined the trip and the wish/hope to redo the visit before I die. In my case, I had undiagnosed cancer for 2 years before it was diagnosed. The CA125 test and scans picked up nothing until a 1/1/2008 dream forewarned me that the other side "was waiting" for me (another story). During my illness I treated a friend to my second trip to Ireland (before I died). The incredible disappointment and extreme cold cruelty is something I shall never forget. We really never "know another" do we? I learned a valuable lesson that trip and will never again allow anyone (through their depressive illness and "need to hurt" (consciously or unconsciously) ruin my day! I hope we both get another chance to enjoy a pleasant trip to Ireland. No one will take that dream from me. Like some of C. Cookson's characters, we share life with incredible unhappy and cruel characters and can find a way "around them". Their "road to ruination" and unhappiness is of their own making. With sincere wishes, I send best regards to all out there!
