STREETS APART

Softcover. The story of two lives that were intertwined in the early 20th century. One a brilliant medical career of a distinguished war veteran, the other, an ordinary working class girl, daughter of a glass blower. The story of a St. Helens family and much more. The author discovered some letters among his late mother's possessions, written between the summer of 1914 and January 1919 and decided to investigate the story and make a permanent record. From recollections of family and friends, he tells a fascinating story of two people who were in life streets apart - Edith May Johnson nee Groves and Major Henry Darnim Blumberg who showed such kindness to a sickly 12yr old glass worker's daughter.
