There You Have It!

"There, You Have It " is a rare and revealing collection of essays about one woman's roller coaster life. The author takes a humorous look at her childhood antics. You'll cheer for her, as the underdog in the school tennis tournament, and smile as the family boat sinks in the cold waters of Puget Sound. You'll laugh with her as her shoes disintegrate during a formal dinner at the famed Grant Hotel in San Diego; and maybe you will identify with her as she boards a plane and lands in the wrong city. From stealing milk while in kindergarten, to paying the IRS with a check from a closed account, her life has never been dull. The loss of her husband at 27 left her a widow and single mother of four daughters and one son, all under 8 years of age. Stuck in poverty, she was out of step with the rest of the world until a chance encounter changed her life forever. Filled with exciting drama and rich characterization of a bygone era. Travel with the author as she looks back over eighty eventful years on a journey "I really wouldn't have wanted to miss." Rejoice with her as she deals with the irony of life's little setbacks.
