Synopsis

A memoir from the life of a World War Two 'brown baby'. As a black middle-aged woman Rosa was compelled to re-live her experience of an isolated childhood in post-war rural England. Amidst despair, grief and sometimes joy she recalled and recorded childhood memories in her quest for emotional wholeness and new personal insights and understanding. Her story combines racism, loneliness and loss with the kindness of strangers and the essence of friendship. The redemptive quality of friendship lies at the heart of this book.
