Ordinary Heroines
This is not a story of war, it is a story of courage. Courage of the people who had to endure, not just the hardship of lack of food and deprivation of everyday comforts, but loss of loved ones. The tenacity of the women in England who held it all together for their loved ones is evident as they struggle to support the men going to fight for their very survival. Dolly was a young girl at the end of WW1, and she thought she would never experience another in her lifetime. She was wrong.

Über den Autor
Pamela Martin, youngest child of six, was born in Lincolnshire just after the Second World War, a time when there was no inside plumbing or central heating, when there were few cars and children played safely in the streets; a time when entertainment was getting together with the community in which she lived, safety and love came from neighbours who shared their last pot of tea with neighbours. Pamela has had three lifetimes of exciting experiences. She has been living and working for seventeen years in Montreal, Canada, and twelve years in Florida, before retiring back in Lincolnshire to write, paint and breed ragdoll cats. Her two sons were her motivation to explore the world and show them just how life must be embraced with both hands. The different cultures and life experiences have been the rich colour palette from which to weave the wonderful patchwork of her characters' personalities. Some of these personalities and stories are passed down from her family, thankfully in an era before conversation was a lost art.
