Produktbeschreibung

Enchanting Rosie is born post-World War 11920but into what? Those few (male) breadwinners who returned from the bloody combat, would find the East End of London Docklands, ravaged, with little hope of regular workif they could work, with life-changing injuries and psychological trauma.

The women remained strong, but in quiet despair. Families and communities supported each other, with their futures in question. Mothers reigned supreme, but alcohol and the public houses exerted their influence. Rosie might have changed the world. With talent, unfailing family and community bonds, and strong matriarchal role models, she had a chance. But the family was dysfunctional, and bonds break as families are distanced and communities scattered, and her time to bloom fadeswith World War 2into the war-torn earth.

Journey with Rosie's memoir, through her childhood and formative years1920s/1930s/1940sas she captures her eternal memories, and I share them in this biography. Share her grief as her close family, home, possessions and history are wiped out, faith is tested to breaking point, and her dreams and ambitions are torn from her soul. But, also, wallow in the nostalgia of days past. Times without the internet and mobile phones. Times when children played in abandonmentand in the fresh air. Explore the social history of bygone days, of knitting, talking, cooking and wearing hatsand the lives of the proud East Enders. And rejoice that Rosie makes it through.

Autorenporträt

Josie Bruce is a new author who will immerse you in her living worlds of sights, feelings and smellsphysical and psychological. Born a baby-boomer in the summer of 1951, Josie was a lonely child who didn't have the opportunity to make friends. The youngest of five children, and with her parents working long hours to house and feed the family, she found solace in books and day-dreamed about becoming a ballerina, or perhaps a ballroom dancer. She had one talent, and that was writing, but it would take over sixty years to gain the confidence to share her writing with others. The moment is here. Josie writes about real people, believing that everyone's life is a story that could be told. Together we make eternal memories.
