    About this ebook

    At 68 I decided it was time to publish my story, break the silence, raise awareness, educate, and motivate people to face the truth and stop the cycle of abuse.
    Once I was ready, I sought help and found it in my city. It was really all there for me. Survivors groups, recovery groups, art therapy, trauma recovery groups, meditation and mindfulness. I was so ready to face the truth.
    ​
    This manuscript sprang out of my psyche fully formed. It was an exciting time. I would wake up in the middle of the night and write down whole poems. Later there was little that I would want to change.

      Joan Bakewell: ‘I Did Enjoy The 1960s Very Much’

      Mar 4, 2023

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I
