Susan loves her Mum and Dad and her doll. She quite likes Reggie Bates but she hates his Grandma. She has an Uncle Dwight who brings chocolate which is good because chocolate is hard to get in 1942. She would save some for her Dad but sh'e not sure when he will get back. Neither is her Mum. An unreliable memoir from a child who tries to make sense of what she sees.
