Wood, Valerie, 1960-, author2001 - 2016English
Rosa grew up an orphan in a remote island East coast of Yorkshire. Taken in as a small child by the motherly Mrs Drew, she realised as she grew up that this large family contained many troubled souls. But Rosa's background was one of mystery. Her mother, before she drowned in the dyke near their home, had always promised that one day Rosa's father would return to her. Mr Drew knew the secret of Rosa's past - and so did the two mysterious Irishmen, who came back to the island after many years and who threatened everything which Rosa held most dear.
