About the Author

My name is Jeanette Lee, my pen name is Ginny Lee, this is the first book ive written eve n though ive often thought about it for many years , I was brought up in essex ,lived in London for four years after getting married,then lived in Australia for three years , I have three children living and one little girl that died in 1962 just two years old . I got the inspiration to write after my husband died ,my mother had died two years before and I missed them both terribly and I began to think back on all old memories and began to remember things my mother had told me about her life ,i was speaking to my close friend about it all and she told me to sit down and write about it , which I did and the outcome was Hetty my book, I promised her if I ever got it published I would dedicate it to her, my children have encouraged me all the way and probably without that encouragement I would have given up , As ime sixty six years old I never thought I would start writing at my age, I have enjoyed what I have written and hope other people will too.
