Synopsis "A Lass from Ozzy"
From her birth in her beloved hometown of Oswaldtwistle (aka Ozzy), through World War II, a harrowing transatlantic journey on the Queen Elizabeth I, and her transformation from country lass to suburban housewife, Margaret Killeya Smith spins a compelling account of growing up in war-torn England and life beyond. Her vivid prose transports the reader to purple-heathered moors, dank air raid shelters, USO dances, and post-war Detroit. A strong, smart, resourceful woman emerges from this story, one who faces challenges head-on from a very early age, yet always appreciates nature, beauty, and music. Whether you're a history buff, an Anglophile, or just someone who enjoys a well-told tale, A Lass from Ozzy will not disappoint!
