Patricia Morgan, "Solace in Stamps"
English | ISBN: 1528980166 | 2022 | 234 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
My memoir traces the many traumatic events I've dealt with, in socially changing times, from the mid-1950s onwards. I've fought the government's solicitors because of inequality, survived a rare type of cancer and sepsis, and battled depression too. I've written about the emotions I've felt over several relationships; a cheating fiancé, a marriage on the rebound and an affair with a married lover. With little education, I tell of my quest to become a surveyor in later life. I've recently had to come to terms with the tragic deaths of both parents. Often when times were difficult, especially as a child, I found huge comfort in my stamp collection. Yet there are many lighter moments too!
