The Prologue
The date was April 18th,1931 in
a small village in Derbyshire
England. The smell of spring
air flooded the room as a window
opened, crying, as a little girl
was born in her Grandma’s front
room. She had two sisters who
were called May and Jenny, she
also had a brother who died
at the age of three, two years
earlier. The new-born girl was
to be named April, after the
month she was born. John, her
father, had hoped for another
boy, but as he looked at April’s
smiling face, he thought that
a boy could wait. Everything
was well, a happy little family.
April’s father John worked hard
at the pit. Her mother, Daisy
worked as a housekeeper and
looked after the family
