From Pillar to Post - Softcover

Angela Claysmith Jenkins describes her place in an upwardly mobile family who wanted to present an acceptable and conventional face whilst hiding a secret. She tells of her parents' sad lives before they met each other - her practical, free-thinking father and her wildly romantic, artistic mother were both thwarted in their early search for happiness. "From Pillar to Post" tells how her family became homeless and were shunted up and down the country before finding sanctuary in their house in the Midland's town of Redditch. Angela rebels against her mother's disapproval and grows up to develop a spontaneous, independent spirit jumping from one interest to another and finally landing in an unconventional career.
