Her young eyes brimming with tears, she stood glaring at her mother. Why does she feel she doesn't belong with her? How could it be that she was brought up in the wrong family?

A lifetime of regret. One chance to be reunited.

When young Rosemary’s mother dies in a tragic accident, she thinks life can’t get any worse. Grieving, penniless and alone, Rosemary’s world is turned upside-down once again when she finds out that she was adopted. Desperate, Rosemary is left to travel to the Staffordshire Potteries, where she hopes to find her long-lost relatives. Might there be someone in her bloodline who will help her – or even learn to love her?

Unknown to Rosemary, her biological mother Beth has spent a lifetime regretting giving up her only daughter. Beth has married a kind and wealthy husband, but she still dreams that one day she'll be reunited with the child she misses so terribly.

One phone call could change their lives forever… What must they do to forge the mother-daughter bond they have both always yearned for?

This heart-wrenching and engrossing historical romance from the award-winning writer Margaret Kaine is perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Dilly Court, and Glenda Young.

This novel was previously published under the title Rosemary .
