Here we will explore two very different stories of childhood in Wexford in the 1950s.
Marina's parents died when she was very young. She had no home and was forced to move from place to place. She had a very difficult time, but she is not bitter about it. Instead of being sad, she uses her difficult memories to remind her to help other people.

On the other hand, Marie had a happy childhood. She tells us of the games she used to play and the little things she misses from her youth. Have a read over her story. See if you like the sound of her childhood, and if you think it has any similarities to yours.
