Becky Perry Brown was married for 54 years to country music legend Jim Ed Brown, member of The Grand Ole Opry for over 50 years and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Becky Brown has selected extracts from the Mass Observation Archives to anthologise the voices of everyday people as they deal individually and collectively with the crisis of the Second World War.

The extracts have been chosen to both uplift and to ground, to remind listeners that nothing is new, that everything can be weathered and perhaps even made better.
