Telling Tales (ePub)

I was born in 1961, in Glasgow, Scotland, my family moved to Southern Africa when I was five years old. While growing up, my parents were constantly on the move, in one year alone we moved 4 times and I went to 3 schools. This meant that I was always the new girl, at school, on the street or just a new face in the area. After a while this affected me quite a lot and I became more and more shy and, at times withdrawn. I was raised by very strict parents and my siblings and I soon realised that it was easier to conform and obey, than to face the wrath of my parents. I particularly enjoyed the time I spent in Rhodesia, prior to it being renamed Zimbabwe. I loved all things African and totally embraced the climate, culture and way of life. I also had some bad experiences there, sadly not from strangers, but those closest to me, as detailed in my book. I have changed the names of everyone in the book so that I am not naming anyone in particular. I've written this book because it is important for people to know that it's not only strangers that may pose a threat. I have fully recovered from my experiences and I look back on my childhood with complete fondness. I am now living in England with my husband and between us we have five children, and six grandchildren. I enjoy the closeness of my family and I have worked hard at making sure my children had a much more settled upbringing than I had.
