Geordie Boy: Stories about small events in a child's life
No Customer Reviews
Welcome to the 'Geordie Boy' stories! As parents, we attempt to avoid making the mistakes that were visited upon us when we were very young. As children, we rely on our role models to guide us safely through into adolescence and beyond. My stories attempt to show how one particular family took hold of a great opportunity to put the wartime years behind them. Despite the privation, the lack of money and the need to rebuild the country's economy, those years after the second world war were a time of optimism and hope. In North Shields, a small town In the North East of England, where the 'Geordie Boy' stories take place, a brand-new development of carefully planned council housing - The Marden Estate - heralds in this new dawn. The young boy whose story this is moves with his mam and his dad into the family's first home. His dad has a job, his mam is a contented and happy housewife, what could go wrong?This is a book about role models, good and bad, and their enormous influence on children as they grow up. Part autobiographical, part fiction, I hope that you will enjoy reading it, and if you can reflect, both on your own upbringing, and on the way you have developed those who see you as a role model, this set of stories will have worked.
