Just Jan by Smeaton, Jan - 2012

UK: Rel8 Media, 2012. Soft cover. Very Good. 5.8 x 0.6 x 8.1 inches. A personal journey with a difference . . . A disabled baby, operations, a broken marriage and young family, money problems - you would be forgiven for thinking this would keep Jan at home in Scotland. But no, not Jan! She is nothing if not a born optimist. Jan travelled globally for pleasure and worked in a remote corner of Kazakhstan and encountered many problems including brushes with the KGB! She made friends all over the world, particularly the children and teachers of Aksai. From Larbert to Lundin Links via Blackpool, London, Kazakhstan, India and mostj places in between - this is a fascinating document of family, personal and social history.
