A moving true story of of a young girl escaping hardship and coming
of age in the Second World War. Margaret Ford grew up with her
older brother Bobby in the mill town of Blackburn. Spending her
early childhood living between her grandparents' rural pub and her
parents' small terraced house, she thought they were a happy
family. She was too young to understand her mother's sadness or
that her father was gambling away what little money he earned. When
she was ten, her father abandoned them, leaving her mother
struggling to survive. Aged thirteen, Margaret took the hard
decision to leave school and got a job in the dye works to help pay
the rent. Later that year, war broke out . . . Coming of age in the
Second World War, Margaret learned to live for the moment. As the
boys she grew up with were killed in action, and Blackburn was
bombed, she snatched happiness where she could find it. By the time
she was seventeen, she was a regular at the dance halls, where the
young soldiers were eager to court her. But her childhood
sweetheart, Raymond, was thousands of miles away, serving on a
submarine in the Far East. Would she ever see him again? Poignant
yet heart-warming, A Daughter's Choice brilliantly evokes a lost
world, seen through the eyes of a courageous and spirited young
woman who never gave up on her dreams.
