East End Ration

By: Jean Fullerton

Narrated by: Annie Aldington

Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, a daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart, Patrick Mahone. But when tragedy struck and Patrick's narrow-minded sister, Nora, intervened, the lovers were torn apart.

Fate can be cruel, and when Queenie arrives in London she finds that Patrick Mahon is her parish priest, and that the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart. But now in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahon is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the truth about his son before it's too late, or will Nora once again come between them?

And if Queenie does decide to tell Patrick about Jeremiah, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?

With Humor And Love

These books have taken me back to the East End of the 1940s , though I was born in the 70s in the US. The Brogans are held together by the fiercest Gran , Queenie Brogan. We should all have a Grandmother like her in our corner!!
