Product Description

Product Description
Will Rosie ever escape from her brutal brothers? As a child Rosie Parker spent the war years battling her brutish half-brothers Seth and Norman on the farm under the less-than-watchful eye of her father Cole. But when housekeeper Heather Farley arrives, Rosie finds a mother – and a friend – to look after her. Several years later, Thomas Farley comes to find his sister. Rosie can only tell him that she disappeared in mysterious circumstances, abandoning her small son Alan. Determined to get young Alan and Rosie out of the clutches of Cole and his sons, Thomas helps unearth a terrible truth about the family. A truth that forces Rosie away from the farm and out into a cruel world where she must somehow come to terms with her shocking past. Is it possible that the man who brought ruin on her family might also bring happiness to Rosie?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Pearse Classic, 2 April 2003
This is the best book I have ever read. Never before have I been so immersed in a story. From start to finish it felt like I was there with the characters and it is easy to believe this story is based on real life rather than fiction.

The plot follows the life of Rosie Parker, a young girl growing up with her father and two half-brothers. Her life is full of tradegy and heartache and through this the reader sees Rosie grow from a small innocent girl to a beautiful, caring woman - made stronger by the tramua she experiences.

All the characters are all well developed but especially Rosie and after finishing this novel you can't help but feel like you know her personally. All of Lesley Pearse's books are wonderful, but this has that something extra making it a must read and arguably the best she has wrote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesley Pearse's best book yet!, 8 Feb 2004
I bought Rosie after reading Trust Me also by Lesley Pearse. This book is absolutely incredible. The story follows Rosie as she grows up, from living with her disgusting older brothers, to branching out on her own. The trauma (not going to give the plot away) she goes through in her life only goes to make her a stronger person, and as we follow her through the pages we grow to love her more and more.

This book will wreck havoc with your emotions, it will make you cry and make you smile. A wonderful read.
