Nancy's book explores her life growing up in Glasgow through the decades 📚
A 97-year-old author from Glasgow says writing has helped her combat the loneliness that many elderly people feel.
"She wrote lots of wee notes. Anybody that wrote to her she would write on the envelopes, she didn't buy a pad. She would use anything to write notes for her book. "I knew the end of her story. I am her daughter so I finished her story, probably not in the way she would but in the way I could. Nancy's teenage years were spent looking out for Nazi aircraft flying above Glasgow searching for targets.
"If it wasn't there I wouldn't be here. I was 15 at that time and my father had fought in the Great War so he was very good at calming me down."
