England. A delightful and thoroughly engaging show, in which Jackie talks
about growing up in a working class environment, struggling to get by. She
describes her family with obvious love and impish mischief, relating
inspiring tales of supplementing the family income harvesting fruit from
neighbors gardens, and seeing her beloved pet bunnies hanging on hooks in
the butcher’s shop window walking home from school one day. A charming
glimpse into the life of this woman who has faced tremendous hardship, yet
emerged filled with compassion and humor. Recorded 9/1/16.[/ezcol_2third_end][ezcol_1third]
