Out of the Chrysalis Marjorie Shepherd

I tell in detail what life was like from a child's point of view, to grow up in Hull, East Yorkshire, during and after the Second World War. I recall highlights of daily living taking in evacuation at the age of five years, air raids, rationing, lack of light, as well as games, celebrations and Hull Fair etc. I also give frank details of my prolonged battle with and eventual victory over Agoraphobia, Anxiety and Panic Attacks which plagued me for almost 50years during two traumatic marriages and the rearing of six children. Lastly, I tell of my experiences on the road to eventually becoming a well known Medium, working in many Spiritualist churches in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The book flows effortlessly, and often humorously, always drawing the reader on to the next chapter. Although experiencing many adverse conditions, the story is a journey of hopeful enjoyment bringing triumph over fear, showing that there is a `light at the end of the tunnel'.
