Life has never been very kind to Joyce.  Forced into the role of carer from an early age, she’s is only fourteen when she loses both her parents just weeks apart.  She moves from Cornwall to Bristol and finally finds the happiness she craves, only for it to be cruelly ripped away from her when her adored employer is killed in an air raid.

As the war rages around her, Joyce fights to find lasting peace.

Description

It’s the year of 2020

Which no one will forget,

When we fought a lethal virus

That posed a deadly threat.

Mel rhymes her way through lockdown,

It enables her to cope,

And in her witty verses

Spreads positivity and hope,
