Family Memoir: Witness Of A Daughter About Her Mother's Secret: Personal Letters And Diaries

By Joseph Schubert

Writing a memoir is one of the best gifts you can give to your family, especially future generations.

This book follows the life of Molly Ripley through the eyes of her daughter Alison. From Molly's childhood in colonial Hong Kong and Malaya; wartime adventures as a rookie office girl in the far east outpost of Bletchley Park then as a young nurse in the city; tangled romance and marriage to her challenging middle-age when demons from the past seem set to overwhelm her.

The writer in Alison can't stop until she reveals the story of Molly's past.
But as a daughter, does she have the courage to face up to the uncomfortable truths of Molly's seemingly ordinary life?

As she unravels the private self that Molly kept secret, Alison realises that she is trying to find herself through her mother's story. By trying to make sense of the past, can she move on with her future?
