"No White Flowers, Please" - 1920s-Era Novel Resonates With Determination

June 29, 2012 - PRLog -- On her 11th birthday, Rhoda and her younger brothers and sisters stood by their mother’s grave. The strong-smelling white flowers around the coffin would forever be associated with the smell of death to the grieving child.

For a young girl, losing her mother and being sent to live with an unmarried aunt across the world, made the 1920s a difficult time. Rhoda Pritchard grew up in a mining town in the North Island of New Zealand. Life wasn’t easy before her mum’s death, but now her father has sent her and the other children to live in England. Rhoda learned at an early age that to survive, you must accept setbacks and disappointments.

In the new and unfamiliar English environment, Rhoda faces every challenge with courage and determination. Her heart-warming story will resonate with readers everywhere. This is a girl who will accept everything life has to throw at her, but No White Flowers, Please.
