Her memories of her father's 'call-up', her recollections of how she and her mother coped with that seperation and the adjustments that had to be made on his return. From Jean's reminiscences of her mother's ingenuity in the kitchen and her own imaginative endeavours to help in the war effort.These anecdotal recollections remind those who were around at the time of the tragedies, destruction, shock and anger of ordinary people and of how they coped.
