A book I could not put down for a second, I even took a chance in reading it whilst I was working.
It was a read that made me want to cry at the same time as laugh.

Roberta Taylor has written her first novel, to be published on approximately 10 November 2005, entitled "Too Many Mothers", published by Atlantic Books, ISBN 1843543001.

The book's subject matter is a recollection of her childhood in East London, her father absent and, I understand, whom Ms Taylor is still searching for. Perhaps I should tell Ms Taylor I am a Genealogist?

Roberta Taylor is much much more than a highly accomplished and experienced stage actress, highly respected in the th ...
