International bestselling author Lesley Pearse has lived a life as rich with incidents, setbacks and joys as any found in her novels. She’ll share the story of being found by a neighbour at three years old after witnessing her mother’s death, life in an orphanage and then as a young woman in a home for mothers and babies - her own child taken away from her - then finding fame as a writer at the age of 48. ‘More extraordinary than any plot twist in Pearse’s novels’ Mail on Sunday.
