Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood's family was poor, but rich in love. Mary raised four children and has numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989 and is now a full-time novelist. The Brave Daughters is the fourth book in the Girls Who Went to War series.
