Person
Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood's childhood was a mixture of love and poverty. Throughout her life, Mary has held various posts in office roles, working in the probation services, and brought up her four children and numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989 while nursing her mother through her final months, but didn't become successful until she began self-publishing her writing in 2011.
Her novels include the Jam Factory Girls series, the Orphanage Girls series, All I Have to Give, An Unbreakable Bond, In Their Mother's Footsteps and the Breckton novels.
