Joyce, An Ordinary Person

This is an autobiography of a hard-working mother of twelve children (eleven who survived to adulthood) who was born at the end of the First World War and met and married her husband during the Second. They enjoyed over 60 years together before she was widowed. In her story, this amazingly strong woman, who died in her ninety-ninth year, recounts the hardships and pleasures of 'an ordinary life'.
