Birmingham Girls - Softcover
My sister Pauline always encouraged me to write the family history. Unfortunately following a road accident in 1987 I lost many of my early memories. Pauline always promised she would write her memories down but tragically she died before she got round to it. I decided to write as much as I could remember as a tribute to her. This book is simply a miscellany of my own memories; it tells the story of our early lives in Balsall Heath, Birmingham, where we lived in a back-to-back house with our mom. Our father deserted Mom before I was born. She had a desperate struggle bringing us up during and after the war until she remarried. In no way is it meant to be a historical document. Perhaps, who knows the book would have been completely different if so many of my memories had not vanished following the car accident. If I have made any mistakes with my facts I apologise.
