Her Name Was Rose
What you need to know before your trail
When Emily lets a stranger step out in front of her, she never imagines that split second will change her life. But after Emily watches a car plough into the young mother – killing her instantly – she finds herself unable to move on.
And then she makes a decision she can never take back.
Because Rose had everything Emily had ever dreamed of. A beautiful, loving family, a great job and a stunning home. And now Rose’s husband misses his wife, and their son needs a mother. Why couldn’t Emily fill that space?
But as Emily is about to discover, no one’s life is perfect … and not everything is as it seems.

Travel Guide
Travel around Londonderry BookTrail style with Her name was Rose
Londonderry is a backdrop of the action to the novel. The streets, feel and atmosphere are evoked throughout. The author lives in the city with her family and she’s written a gripping psychological novel where the city lurks in the background:
St Mary’s Church Creggan
A chapel that overlooked most of the city of Derry, down its steep hills towards the River Foyle before the city rises back up again in the Waterside. It’s a church scored in the history of Derry, where the funeral Mass of the Bloody Sunday dead had taken place. Thirteen coffins lines up side y side.
