Whether tying an impossible knot or dropping everything to help young, frightened girls in Algeria, my grandmother’s sage words have resonated throughout my life. There’s No Such Word as Can’t is a collection of stories from my life where I explore how her words have touched me. Pull up a chair, why don’t you, and explore them with me.

Follow Patricia as she recounts her life growing up in Cottingham during World War II. Prepare yourself for laughs as you experience her come of age, dedicate her life to nursing, become a flight attendant for BOAC and volunteer to care for a house of girls during the end of the Algerian War.
