At the age of 47, Christian Watt began to write down reflections of her life, continuing until her death at the age of 90 in 1923. Vividly told, this narrative follows the Scottish native from her birth into a Fraserburgh fishing family through her years working in domestic service - including as a table maid to Winston Churchill's grandmother - to her life as a mental patient in the Cornhill Infirmary.
