Forward Together (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Gone were the anxious and pain-filled years of author Lilly May's childhood and teens. Gone were the tears and loneliness of a child without a mother. No more would she face hurt and insults from relations and so-called friends. She was free. It was her wedding day, a day that was forever marked in her heart. In Forward Together, May chronicles the story of her life after her marriage to Michael, a British solider she met while he was stationed in Jamaica. A sequel to her first book, Montego May, this memoir shares the stories of the experiences she had as an army wife traveling to different countries. It discusses the hardships of raising three small children while her husband was away on active service in the Far East and Northern Ireland, narrates the challenges of moving as a military family, and tells how she settled into civilian life. Starting from 1962 to the present, Forward Together offers a look at May's life, both the challenges and the triumphs, as she and her husband now travel and enjoy their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Autor

Lilly May's second book is much more upbeat. It tells not only about the very interesting times she had as an army wife traveling to different countries, but also the hardships of bringing up three small children while her husband was away on active service in the Far East and Northern Ireland and the many army exercises he took part in. The trials of being an army wife were quite demanding, and moving in and out of caravans and army quarters were challenging. Their three children were born in the UK, all in different counties as they moved around. She eventually settled down into civilian life, but that, too, had its challenges of changing from one culture to a totally different one. Both she and her husband still had the urge to travel, and they visited many different places, each with its own unique story to relate. Many of them are written in this book. Now slowing down a little, she has grandchildren and great-grandchildren on the scene, but all are loved and cherished. And perhaps in later years, they will see how they lived life in 1962 and the present day.
