Press Release
Dog Dirt Doris Published 11th November 2008
H.O.WARD is a new author whose book, “Dog Dirt Doris”, is to be released on 11 November 2008, Armistice Day.
Challenging & Compulsive
Dog Dirt Doris is a challenging but compulsive read.
With no holds barred, the author via Doris takes you on a personal and evocative emotional journey.
Initially presented with Doris, the unsavoury vagabond, you are then drawn through the heart wrenching story of her life as a Queen Alexandra Nurse in war ravaged Italy.
From Queen Alexandra’s Nursing Corp to the Streets of London
Dog Dirt Doris charts the life of a dedicated Queen Alexandra Nurse committed to serving her country through the trauma of war, to a romance in Renaissance Florence, and ultimately to a lost and tragic existence as a vagabond on the streets of London.
Based upon the author's real life encounter with a London vagrant
Based upon the author’s real life encounter with a tramp who had lost everything and yet still offered the author virtually all that he owned.
H.O.Ward believes that “as with all lives, they should not be judged on the merits of the surroundings in which the person is first encountered, but by the complete understanding and quality of the person, if they should then be judged at all.”
“…a sensitive walk through the life … with its highs and heart-wrenching lows…” Jax Nunnerley.
