Touching and funny - an emotional roller-coaster of a read. * Closer Magazine on Babies in Waiting * Heartwarming and beautifully written, it's a story of crossroads and choices, friendship and family. * Daily Express on Wonder Women * After Isabella is a beautiful, absorbing novel that deals with the issues at the very heart of what it means to be a woman. I was drawn in from the very first page and loved the way Rosie handled both the harsh realities, and the beauty, of the friendships and family relationships that define us. I can't wait to read more from her! -- Tracy Buchanan A heartfelt novel about how messy life is, and how relationships and families change over time.
