About this ebook
Shattered Dreams is the continuing saga of the Dockerty family. Based on a manuscript left by Vivienne’s mother, the story tells of a young couple’s dreams for their future together, only to have them shattered because of the 1930s Depression and conscription into the Second World War.
Most of the story is written from the experiences of an ordinary soldier in his endeavours to keep alive whilst battles raged all around him and many of his comrades were killed.
Eddie was a stricken man who returned to Civvy Street to a land that was most certainly not fit for heroes. The country faced rationing, mass unemployment and a huge amount of money owed to the USA and, at the expense of the country’s younger generation, many hadn’t survived to make Britain great again.
Shattered Dreams will appeal to fans of Vivienne Dockerty’s work and those that enjoy World War 2 and biographical fiction. Vivienne is inspired by Katie Flynn and Maureen Lee and her writing style emulates the work of Dilly Court.
