Just One More Day: A Memoir

By Susan Lewis

Book Overview

In 1960s Bristol, a family is overshadowed by heartbreak.

Feisty seven year old Susan and her mother, Eddress, are living in a world darkening by tragedy.
While Susan is being brave, Eddress is struggling for courage.

How does a child cope when faced with a wall of adult secrets? What does a mother do when her biggest fear starts to become a reality?

Set in the sixties, when it was considered shameful to acknowledge your emotions and a fridge is a luxury, Just One More Day is a deeply moving true-life account, told by mother and daughter, of how the specter of death moved into their family, and how hard they tried to pretend it wasn't there.
