Description
Born during World War II in Glasgow, Christine Fraser was the eighth child of a hardworking mother. Her childhood was marked by poverty and hardship, but she never lost her spirit. Growing up in a tiny flat with her siblings, Christine learned to navigate the streets alongside other urchins, always on the lookout for opportunities. A life-changing illness struck when Christine was young, forcing her into hospital and altering the course of her life forever. She became dependent on others for support, but her resourcefulness never wavered. Even in the face of tragedy, she found solace in a simple yet profound observation: that there is always something blue above the chimneys. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into Christine Fraser's remarkable story, one of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
