Overview
Safe Keeping is an intimate account of a small English boy's survival of a mid-Atlantic U-boat attack while on a wartime voyage to sanctuary, and his subsequent joyful childhood exile in America, which paved the way to a rich and rewarding adult life. It is a vivid account of wartime anxieties on both sides of the Atlantic, exploring among much else, death and sacrifice, rationing and food shortages, child-rearing and education.The story is told through the correspondence between the boy's mother in England and his Connecticut foster-mother -- greatly enhanced by the boy's own vivid verbatim descriptions of his full and varied life.
