I loved this book. From start to finish (I literally finished the book in 2 days) I couldn't put it down. The way Josie puts her sentences together captivates you. The book flows and pulls you in. It’s almost like you become Rosie.
Well done Josie on your first book. Can’t wait to read your next write!

I wanted to say I really, truly loved narrating this book. I was so affected when Rosie wasn't allowed to go to Switzerland! It really transported me to the time. At points I had to take a break because I got too emotional! This is my favourite book I have narrated, I really loved it,

I loved this captivating family story interspersed with historical facts. I found myself rooting for Rose from the start and couldn't wait to see what happened. Looking forward to volume 2 already.

About The Author
JOSIE BRUCE
JOSIE BRUCE
Josie Bruce is a new author who will immerse you in her living worlds of sights, feelings and smells—physical and psychological. Born a baby-boomer in the summer of 1951, Josie was a lonely child who didn’t have the opportunity to make friends. The youngest of five children, and with her parents working long hours to house and feed the family, she found solace in books and day-dreamed about becoming a ballerina, or perhaps a ballroom dancer. She had one talent, and that was writing, but it would take over sixty years to gain the confidence to share her writing with others. The moment is here. Josie writes about real people, believing that everyone’s life is a story that could be told.
