Yes, well it was a secret diary until I had it published.  My mother's wartime diary from 1941 - 1943 in the WAAF.  It is fun to read, and it gave me an insight into a 21 year old's life in England during the war, and of her meeting my father, hence the book is entitled The Man from Brazil.  Publishing it was a way a keeping her memory alive for many generations to come, as she went to have eight children.
