Goodbye Girlie by Patsy Adam-Smith is the compelling sequel to her childhood memoir Hear the Train Blow, chronicling her journey from a spirited teenager in Depression-era Australia to a trailblazing writer and historian. The memoir delves into her experiences as an army nurse during World War II, her brief wartime marriage, and the challenges of raising two children alone.
