On Top of Old Smoky: Memoirs of an East End Childhood to Her Globetrotting Journey of the Open Sea

This book is based on the memoirs of an introverted young girl's childhood, whose parents brought up their large family of four boys and eight girls in a poverty stricken, post war, East End of London.

At the ripe old age of forty two with a grown son and daughter and some life changing choices stemming from a rather extrovert hobby; she built a strong camaraderie with like-minded people that eventually took her and her spouse halfway around the world.
