With the need to find an engrossing project to fill the isolation forced on us by the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, From There to Here recalls the author's childhood growing up in England during World War II. Wyllie compares the many restrictions imposed on our lives today with the hardships endured by the British during the war. Set against this backdrop, the book describes the author's early life, boarding schools, university, marriage to an Arctic explorer, and a three-year sojourn in America. The book ends with the anticipated birth of Wyllie's first child, making this story a prequel to her previously published Loving Andrew: A Fifty-Two-Year Story of Down Syndrome.
