When Hal and Vee Miller are offered a flat on a post-war housing estate, they believe they’ve finally escaped the suffocating grasp of Hal’s domineering mother. With gardens, indoor bathrooms, and open fields at their doorstep, it seems the good life is just beginning. But they soon realise life isn’t that simple.
Balancing the joy of young friendships and laughter, the Millers face the daily grind of family struggles and survival. Bailiffs, drunkenness, and meddling in-laws remain constant threats. And amidst it all, a lingering question haunts Who is Joe Daniels, and does it even matter?
In this touching, true account, Geoff Miller paints a vivid picture of post-war life, where humour and hardship walk hand in hand. Readers will laugh, cry, and cheer on this young couple as they navigate the trials of growing up, however imperfectly.
