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 workingclass London and how she navigated joyful moments and times of struggle and loss
One of the last generation of women from this era Kittys voice remains as whipsmart as her irrepressible nineyearold self who triumphed over the adversity of a most unusual childhood
