Official synopsis Publisher
A fascinating life story, part biography and part the way Pat would have liked her life to be. From her birth in 1902, Derby, Connecticut, USA; being brought to Accrington, UK at five years old, surviving two World Wars and the Great Depression, she always had a dream, “California Here I Come” and one day it came true. Graffic descriptions of life in the 20’s and 30’s and during the Second World War. All true up to 1945, then her imagination took over. Altogether an amazing tale.
