Description Using diaries written from an early age, Rebecca gives an evocative portrayal of her childhood in Hertfordshire. She reflects on her upbringing with her parents and her four siblings and tries to trace the origins of her mental health problems. She acknowledges the difficulties in her past such as her father’s heavy drinking and the stresses within the family which pervade into her grown up self. Many of the memories are happy ones but there is an underlying insecurity and anxiety which linger into her adult life. About the Author Rebecca Morgan was born in Hertfordshire in 1951. She obtained a degree in Modern History and Politics from Sheffield University in 1973, followed by a Post-Graduate Diploma in Librarianship from Birmingham Polytechnic in 1975. In 1978 she became a Chartered Librarian and has worked for 20 years for Sheffield Libraries, Archives and Information Service. She has experienced severe depression, postnatal depression and psychotic illness during her life. Rebecca is married with one son and lives in Sheffield. This is her second book, following her vivid picture of her years of mental illness in Hertfordshire and Sheffield portrayed in her first book: “The Nest of Sanity” also published by Chipmunka Publishing. Rebecca Morgan is a pseudonym.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner
