Seen and not Heard
Past generations of Jennifer’s family were farmers, and that was her life also, until her mid-teens. Despite many childhood adventures it had been a bumpy ride, as from an early age there had been heartbreak, numerous house moves, umpteen schools and three mothers. How could she be any other than obnoxious and difficult? Ultimately, when aged sixteen, her father told her to move on.
She went in search of love and happiness. But was it sweet talk and nothing else? Amidst the turmoil and confusion, at least she was part of the swinging 60s: rock-n-roll, jazz and flower-power. Then her sister got married, and Jennifer was left holding the baby.
Many post-war ‘baby-boomers’ will relate to this real and honest account of a different way of life; a world where strict traditional values were the norm and of being a teenager in the 1950s and 60s.
