Another time, another place : the true story of a teenage mother in the 1950s / Rose Handleigh-Adams.

Long Preston : Magna, 2014.

288 pages (large print) : illustrations

A child of the Blitz, Rose's youngest days are shaped by iconic experiences of wartime and post-war Britain - evacuation, grinding poverty and seemingly endless years of rationing. But she also faces other, more unconventional challenges in the form of her eccentric and unpredictable family. As Rose enters her teenage years, there are other, even darker clouds on the horizon. Her blossoming body and good looks attract the attention of older men, and she is prematurely drawn into a painful world of sexual betrayal, heartache and bureaucratic cruelty. As her father is constantly reminding her, no good will ever come of her.
