About this ebook
Like millions of women, Lillian Kirkby has been left a widow after the brutal Battle of the Somme. She has held on to her home, and the things that symbolised her marriage as long as she can. Now, as she waits to receive her Widow’s pension, she has taken in washing to make ends meet. A brief respite as she stands and shares a cigarette with her practical and forthright neighbour leads to a decision about how she is going to carry on.

Time to commit to the stories - it isn't too late to start writing. I lost confidence in my writing at a very early age, and it has taken a long time to make my way back to a place where I can share these ideas and tales. I hope people like them, but the important thing for me is to just do it. I work full time, managing a team providing technology to support Adults and Children with Learning disabilities - it is a great job and I feel very lucky to get to do something so amazing every day. The writing is for me, and I am glad that I have finally plucked up the courage to take the ideas out of my head and let them see the light of day. .
