A betrayed and lonely young woman. An old lady locked in silence and regret. The ghosts of mothers who made their own choices. When her controlling boyfriend runs out on her, Laura believes she must pick up the pieces alone. But Peggy, her grandmother, has been waiting for over two decades to meet her. Peggy refused to die, refused to give up, sensing that Laura will need her. It takes the death of Peggy's sister for the two to meet and Laura feeling an inexplicable, instant connection. A meeting that sends Laura off on a journey to discover her family story and what happened to Rose, an ancestor, who disappeared without trace, leaving her five-year-old daughter (Peggy's grandmother) to a lifetime of grief. Laura travels ten thousand miles to fit the last piece of the jigsaw in place, and she discovers one more astonishing secret that will change both Laura's and Peggy's lives. Can Laura Grey dare to take risks? Can she learn to forgive? Can she learn to love again without reservation? A heart-warming story of love and loss across decades and continents. For lovers of Long-Lost Family, of family sagas and genealogical mysteries.

Autorenporträt
Rosemary lived most of her early life in the flat lands of Lincolnshire before training as a librarian and moving between the Midlands and the South Coast. She began writing historical novels after retirement and has now written five novels, a children's book, and collaborated on a ghost book and short story collection. Her Lincolnshire roots are evident in three books Ranter's Wharf, Sadie's Wars and The Bluebird Brooch. Before moving to Norfolk, Rosemary was a director of Chindi Authors Network and appeared in various book events in West Sussex.Rosemary's second love is historical research. She worked as a volunteer with the University of Melbourne and Female Convicts Research Centre on a project to uncover the lives of convicts sent to Van Diemen's Land, which helped enormously with her first book, Search for The Light, featuring three young girls transported in 1824. This led to a trilogy - The Currency Girls Saga based on her husband's family in Australia, a real rags to riches and back again story.Her latest book is a departure. The Bluebird Brooch was set in 2019 but is threaded through with a family story spanning over a hundred and fifty years.
