Description
Shirley Pitts, the eldest of six children, was born upside down on 24 November 1934. Her early life was marked by poverty and hardship, but also by a strong sense of determination and resourcefulness. As a young girl, Shirley turned to thieving as a means of survival, stealing bread from doorsteps and coal from coal carts. Despite the challenges she faced, Shirley's life was not without its joys and pleasures. Her experiences as a thief were often humorous and lighthearted, and she developed a sense of fun and a love of life that stayed with her throughout her life. Before she passed away, Shirley shared her remarkable story with Lorraine Gamman, a story of a generous, brave and beautiful woman who refused to be defined by her circumstances. This book is a fascinating and often humorous account of Shirley Pitts' life, from her early days as a young thief to her later years as a devoted mother. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always the possibility for redemption and joy.
