PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons.

She is now a No.1 bestselling author with over 40 books to her name. Sherry Baines has narrated over 75 audiobooks for the UK and USA.
