Home fires : a memoir
(Book)

From her earliest memory of attending the coronation parade of George VI in London in 1937, surviving the German Blitzkrieg of England during World War II, an engagement to marry a Malayan prince who attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and her eventual marriage to a United States serviceman which transported her to Missouri and, eventually, New York, Elaine Cheney endured anti-Semitism, political bias, and heartbreak. Elaine Cheney's autobiographical memoir includes three distinct sections: personal experience as a Jewish girl England during and after World War II including the evacuation from London and an engagement to Malayan Prince Ungku Nazaruddin, marriage to an American serviceman and move to the United States, and life as a single mother after her divorce and subsequent remarriage.--Publisher.
