Special thanks to the Clydebank Library, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, for the use of its archival photographs.

This engaging memoir (released Jan 2012) might be the last comprehensive voice to be heard from a survivor of Nazi bombing in World War 2. Those who lived through that era are few; and so are their stories. It is timely.

Seen through the eyes of a child, and revealing a remarkable memory, this unique book gives a view of pre-war, wartime, and post-war Britain, including he sight of Clydebank's greatest achievement, the RMS Queen Mary, going down the river Clyde in 1936. Clydebank was crucial to the Allied cause.

The book depicts a happy evacuation, and parents who recalled the child to the danger zone in time for the Clydebank Blitz. Homeless now, the family escaped with their lives.

A few months later, the mother deserted the family.

People who are important to the child are highlighted and the eventual end to World War 2 is celebrated. The child, now a teenager, finds romance.
