- Book Synopsis
- Jean always loved her wooden toy box, akin to a small travelling trunk. Its mysterious origins were unknown to her all her life. The discovery one day that her father was not her birth father, but an American soldier, created a massive shock for Jean. She realized she was not who she thought she was. Now an adult, she decided to embark on a search for the American soldier - an emotional roller coaster lasting seven years. Her tenacity and determination to find her birth father led her, in the end, to the biggest surprise of her life.
- About The Author
- Norma has written and self-published two books, Somewhere Out There: An English Woman's Search for Her GI Father (1998) and an eBook titled Daughter in Chains: A Mother's Harrowing Tale (2013). She has also published several magazine articles, usually on her own experiences. The Box - A War Time Gift was written based on a true story. Norma felt this story should be written as it had a massive impact on her childhood, showing how poor they were just after the war and the joy of having a toy box bringing her such pleasure in a time of depravation. She was unaware that this was a gift from her biological father, an American soldier. She began her search.
