The dramatic page-turner from the author of In Their Mother's Footsteps, Mary Wood.
Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood's family were poor but rich in love. Over time, she developed a natural empathy with the less fortunate and is fascinated with social history. Mary raised four children and has numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989, and is now a full-time novelist.
