<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Since the onset of the pandemic, the author is reminded of an idyllic childhood interrupted by World War II. The book reinforces the idea that if the world managed to survive six years of war with all its horrors, we can endure COVID-19</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><br></p><p>With the need to find an engrossing project to fill the isolation forced on us by the 2020 global pandemic, <em>From There to Here</em> recalls the author's childhood growing up in England during World War II. Wyllie compares the many restrictions imposed on our lives today with the hardships endured by the British during the war. Set against this backdrop, the book chronicles the author's idyllic childhood interrupted by the onset of a world war and all its horrors; wartime in preparatory school; peace declared during senior boarding school; followed by university in Scotland, marriage to an Arctic explorer, and a three-year sojourn in America. The book ends with the anticipated birth of the author's first child, making this story a prequel to her previously published <em>Loving Andrew: a Fifty-Two-Year Story of Down Syndrome.</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>This evocative memoir is a peek into a past that the author always manages to make relevant to the present. Her lively and engaging style transports the reader on a journey through childhood in wartime, growing up and falling in love in post-war Britain, and a coming of age sojourn in the US. Vividly recalled events, along with many fascinating historical links, make this a very enjoyable read. It is also a timely book with many parallels to life today.</em></p><p><br></p><p>Jan Fox, Journalist, <em>Index On Censorship</em> magazine.</p><br>
