Mandy Moore Author

Mandy Moore was born in Brixton, South London, in the home of her Jewish grandfather and cockney grandmother. She lived with them for the first two years of her life, while her jazz singer mother and father toured Britain with Harry Gold and his Pieces of Eight, a leading jazz band of the time. Her interest in family history led to the discovery of her mother’s astonishing cousin, Brian Leese, and her decision to write this book about his life.
