Download Your Copy Only One Child Fashioned By Brian Bohun Barlow Available In Audiobook

true story and also local history I wanted to read this for the local history, and it was more a story of the relationship between the author, his adoptive family, and his mother still in England.
Interesting to read, but drawn out in many spots, A moving memoir about four English children evacuated to the United States during World War II.
The author tells the story of how he and his brother and sisters were sent away to the US for the duration of the war to escape the near constant bombing raids over England.
He describes from a child's perspective the fear and wonder they experienced in their new and radically different life.
Nearly sunk while crossing the Atlantic, they are eventually taken in by a caring American woman who refuses to separate the siblings.
She tends to their every need, visas, bureaucratic redtape, schooling, clothing, and love, They very quickly adapt to their new home and eventually the decision is made for them to remain in the US with their now adoptive mother to further protect them from the hardships of a postwar England.
