Woman's Hour - 16/01/2009

Presented by Jenni Murray. Recent research suggests that not enough is being done to help the children and families of drug addicts. Dr Brynna Kroll and Professor Neil McKeganey join Jenni to discuss how these people can be helped. Vesna Maric joins Jenni to discuss her memoir, Bluebird, which tells the story of her escape from war torn Bosnia as a teenager and her first eventful years living in the UK. Just how different was it growing up in the 1950s? Jenni is joined by Ali Sparkes, Author of 'Frozen In Time', a children's novel set in 1956, and by social historian Christina Hardyment, herself a child of the Fifties. We hear from listeners who got in touch with Woman's Hour to tell us how much they still treasure their dinner service. Dominic Prince meets Britain's most successful female jockey, Hayley Turner, at the yard of the trainer she rides for, Michael Bell. Including drama: Dear Mr Spectator.
