THE LOST YORKIST ROSE
By J.P. Reedman
Mary Plantagenet is the second daughter of King Edward IV. Her best friend is her sister, Elizabeth of York, only sixteen months her senior. Two small girls who had once lived an almost faerytale life, the sisters are suddenly caught in the upheaval of the Wars of the Roses when Warwick the Kingmaker turns against their father and Edward flees into exile. Fearing capture, the girls rush with their heavily pregnant mother, Elizabeth Woodville, to sanctuary in the abbot's house at Westminster where they dwell in uncertainty and dread.
When they finally emerge, their father victorious at Barnet and Tewkesbury, the resume their roles as princesses, and Merrie England reaches its zenith, especially when their little brother, Richard of Shrewsbury marries the Norfolk heiress, little Anne Mowbray and Anne joins them in the nursery at Placentia in Greenwich.
But both power struggles and plague afflict England, and the lives of Mary and her family.
