Rose Of Tralee by Katie Flynn

The year is 1925, and in Liverpool, Rose Ryder worships her father, a tram-driver. She nurses a secret dream of driving trams too, even though it's not considered a job for women. Meanwhile, in Dublin, Colm O'Neill is happily settled - until his father gets a job working on the Liverpool-Birkenhead tunnel, and takes Colm across the water with him. When tragedy strikes and her beloved father is killed, Rose and her mother scrape a living by turning their home into a boarding house. And it is their boarding house which Colm and his father come to when they arrive in Liverpool. . .

Katie Flynn has lived in the northwest for a long time. She began writing short tales and essays as a compulsive writer, and many of her early works were broadcast on Radio Merseyside. After hearing family members' reminiscences about living in Liverpool in the early twentieth century, she decided to write her Liverpool series. She also goes by the pen name Judith Saxton. She has had to deal with ME for the past few years, yet she has continued to write.
