WWII shaped my life
My life was changed forever. Living on England's south coast, I was nine and my sister Iris was 10 at war's outbreak in September l939. That's when a government scheme called 'Operation Pied Piper' saw 3.5 million school children sent from London and other major cities to live in the safety of Britain's countryside. Iris and I went to a coal mining community where, in a one room schoolhouse, we were picked over by prospective 'pretend parents' as they might select fruit at a market. Since my book's publication I have heard from readers who say it has helped them to remember their own 'vaccy' experiences, for the first time in 70 years.

And so, when a huge truck from Holland clipped us while it changed lanes, we went into an involuntary U-turn, ending up on the soggy grass sloping towards a ravine.
