Finding Rosamond - Jackie Wallis

When mother Jackie Wallis’s life falls apart following the loss of her daughter Allison through suicide, writing ‘Finding Rosamond’ is her saviour. Incredibly, when nothing else could console her, a young lady who died nearly two centuries ago came to Jackie’s spiritual and emotional rescue. The chance discovery of an almost indecipherable young lady’s diary from 1835 led Jackie on her own personal journey while unravelling, and imagining, the secrets hidden within its tiny pages. As Rosamond’s story unfolds during the reign of William IV, in a tiny hamlet near Aylesford in Kent, Rosamond introduces us to her family and social life, then confides in us of her loves, losses and ultimate fears. Was it Rose’s wish that one day someone would read her diary and tell her story? Novel, memoir, ‘Finding Rosamond’ combines all that is best about both genres.
