"An admirable work...worthy of attention."—Historical Novels Review  


"Worth's Richard III is the Richard no reader can ever forget."—Wendy Dunn, author of Dear Heart, How Like You This? and winner of a 2003 Glyph Award.  


"Worth has done meticulous research, even extending to the phase of the moon on the eve of Bosworth Field, but her narrative is far from dry-as-dust. Though conversations and some incidents must be invented, she makes them seem so real that one agrees this must have been what they said, the way things happened."—Myrna Smith, Fiction Editor, The Ricardian Register, Journal of the U.S. Richard III Society.  


"Expounding an historical epic of honor and love during the time of the Wars of the Roses, The Rose Of York: Love & War is both dramatic and evocative in its portrayal of struggling souls making the best choices they can in an unjust world. A deftly written, reader engaging, thoroughly entertaining and enthusiastically recommended historical novel which documents its author as a gifted literary talent."—Midwest Book Review
