A unique and personal memoir of a family that was changed forever by the Second World War.

Kitty Baxter was born in London in 1930, the daughter of a road sweeper and a cleaner and one of five children. War broke out just as Kitty turned nine and she became one of thousands of children evacuated to the countryside. This would be the first of three times that she was rehoused far from home over the course of the war.

Sometimes treated more like a servant than a small child, Kitty endured gruelling years cut off from her parents rather than a safe haven from war. She recalls her experiences living with strangers’ families in environments radically different to working-class London and how she navigated joyful moments and times of struggle and loss.

One of the last generation of women from this era, Kitty’s voice remains as whip-smart as her irrepressible nine-year-old self who triumphed over the adversity of a most unusual childhood.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is a wonderful record of how it felt to be an evacuee in WW2. So many of Kitty and her family’s experiences resonated with me having listened to my own Mother and her siblings stories from that time. It was a very difficult experience for a lot of children and one that left lifelong scars. Thank you Kitty for preserving your memories for future generations.

A fabulous record of life during the war in London. I wonder did Kitty and her family ever visit their dad’s grave in Italy.

I loved this book, I didn’t know much about the evacuee children and it’s so interesting to find out about that but also those beautiful loving family moments before the war

Sweet and moving
